The perfect organ for this piece, also the perfect organist (Olivier Latry) to play such an enormous piece of art !!

He knew Messiaen.

This is breathtaking in its enormity - the colossal wall of sound for which Notre Dame is so famous - here we pay tribute to the master at the helm of this great organ.

Tout est résumé dans les paroles d'Olivier Messiaen lui-même, au sujet de son oeuvre magistrale, en particulier sur "l'apparition de l'Eglise Etrenelle" : « Après la mort, pendant la purification nécessaire qui précède la vision définitive de Dieu, on ne se souvient plus des joies et des peines de cette vie. On se souvient seulement de ses bonnes et de ses mauvaises actions. A ce moment-là, je me désolerai de tout ce que j’ai pu faire de mal. Mais je me réjouirai aussi de tout ce que j’ai pu faire de bien, et ce dernier souvenir me permettra progressivement de comprendre enfin l’Invisible. »

Actually, it's not about the raising of a cathedral. It's a vision of the "church eternal," that is, the community of those who believe in god. Messiaen was a 20th c. mystic. With the increasing crescendo, the vision becomes more and more intense. The decrescendo signifies the fading of the vision.

Amazing performance. Imagine this in a cathedral completely dark except for a large illuminated crucifix. Terrifying. I agree more or less with what you say.

I wish to listen this on the Atlantic City organ fully restored... just once...
Aussi sublime que la version de Louis Thiry. Non seulement, Olivier Latry est un bel homme, mais en plus c'est un très grand musicien. Un second Cochereau.

Would love to hear this played by Daniel Roth on the St Sulpice organ .

It would be very good, but slightly less dramatic and powerful (even if both musician and instrument are top level at St Sulpice) This version is definitely mental with the climax and the screaming blasting chords!

@hbmp88, the work is very religious though. To put it simply it's meant to portray the rising of a cathedral.

@advisorC101 I new it was supposed to be about some grand structure of something :) If those are what I think they are there are a lot of fifths!

I think Messiaen, in his profound mysticism, probably had in mind the eternal church formed at the last judgment, when the souls in purgatory are united with those in heaven. This music is intended to communicate an eschatological idea.

@ds1868, I still plan on uploading a few more of Stefano's old videos that I have left. Just need to find the time.

No, it about seeing a vision of the eternal church--one visualization is that you are walking toward it, reach the center, and then walk out.

Actually about arriving at eternal life. I envision the saints who have gone before welcoming us in solemn assembly.
