L'Œuvre pour orgue

Description

Louis THIRY, A hero of music… In 1972, the music world was in shock: the recording of the complete organ works of Olivier Messiaen by Louis Thiry did not go unnoticed and immediately presented itself as an unmissable event. Multiple award-winning, this now legendary box set deserved a new life thanks to a subtle remastering of its three discs and an engaging booklet in which organist Louis Thiry reminisces about his memories and shares colorful anecdotes. It is at the organ that Olivier Messiaen's work most perfectly expresses the originality and power of his temperament. For a long time, it was the preferred vehicle for the composer’s spiritual meditation, who explored all the possibilities of his instrumental language and succeeded in renewing his musical aesthetic without ever renouncing tradition. Louis Thiry's version is striking in its grandeur of inspiration and intense spirituality. The organist navigates with calm ease the difficulties accumulated by the composer. Louis Thiry goes even further by admirably recreating the richness of this highly colorful, contrasting music.
