perfect playing of ... ( 8 months ago by organboi)
perfect playing of a perfect piece. people like to butcher the rhythms of Messiaen but not this artist. ps: some of these comments are atrociously immature. someone called this "gross?" but i do agree with the poster who mentioned the unnaturalness of flat pedal boards. but to each his or her own i suppose.

ah! who is this plebian below? Whilst not being one of the most "tuneful" of composers, Messiaen was a genius of late French romantic organ repertoire. I'd love to see a more intellectual piece than this!

I know what this composer tries to do with awkward clashes, but pieces like this one are just not worth repeating. This bears resemblance to picasso in that a child could replicate it with ease...I honestly don't mean to "bash" this or anything, but I don't see why on earth he would need that huge incredible organ to help him write this...
Awkward clashes ... ( 6 months ago by novaves)
Awkward clashes have nothing to do with the piece, although I respect your description. That a child might recreate something similar does not deny that it is art, rather the opposite; however in this case neither child nor adult would replicate with ease.

This evocative piece is typical of Messiaen's amazing style of music. He truly is a wonderful composer!
