When I uploaded this previously, I attributed the
performance to the wrong Christopher (bad
note-taking on my part).
This performance of Olivier Messiaen's
"show-stopper" is by Christopher Herrick. It was
recorded in 1969, before the massive Noel Mander
re-build of 1972-77.
This is probably Messiaen's most popular organ
composition, although he might have cringed at
having any of his compositions called "popular"
