Olivier Latry is one of three organists at the Cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris. He is one of the finest concert organists in the world today. On October 7, 2007 Mr. Latry invited JAV Recordings into the loft at Notre Dame and allowed us to film him playing the Introit to the 11:30 Sunday Mass. This music was spontaneously created by Mr. Latry in the tradition of the great French organists. This was recorded with a Cannon HV20 and a pair of microphone hung in the Nave of the Cathedral.
On October 14, 2007 Mr. Latry recorded Vierne's 6th Symphony and a 3 movement symphony on hymn tunes at Washington National Cathedral. This CD will be released in the Spring of 2008 and can be purchased from www.pipeorgancds.com
Mr. Latry can be contacted through his agent for recitals at www.concertorganists.com/

M. Latry is a genius, you have to listen to the opening of the mass to realize that this entire piece is him improvising on the theme of the day's mass. I think we will discuss him in music courses a hundred years from now.

The superior sound was because I was allowed to use the mics hanging in the nave and I bought equipment to allow me to use real microphones with my camera - also bought a new camera so I can make better videos. Thanks for your kind words

I was truly delighted to meet and hear Mr. Latry last night in Plano, Texas at Christ United Methodist Church. I came away on a "spiritual high!" The Dedication Concert of the church's Reuter Pipe Organ Opus 2235 was truly a memorable experience. Bruce McWilliams September 27, 2010 Addison, Texas

When an organist plays such heavenly "spontaneous" music such as this, it confirms in my mind that there is an awesome God who gives the gift of music! I am simply amazed at the great display of musicianship that has been displayed here. Keep playing the magical organ - THE KING OF INSTRUMENTS. Wayne from Australia.

The way he finally incorporates the theme of that day’s chant, Dieu Regne, at 9:12, and especially at 9:31, which he has been building to for the entire improvisation, is awe inspiring. I don’t think I have ever heard an improvisation with better structure

I am an organist, of too many years. Enough of them to be able to say: this is astonishing, I've not heard anything in performance that would challenge this brilliant improvisational skill. A great many improvisations have a rhapsodic form, something of a crazy quilt of ideas pasted together. This extraordinary example is of whole cloth. The man is, in a word, brilliant. Gloriously colorful and exciting work. On ONE manual! [thanks to electronics but who's counting]. Bravissimo!

I went to mass in Notre Dame de Paris the last month and, even though I don't speak much french and couldn't understand much, the music the organist played was so beautiful and made it such a great experience. I would recommend to every Catholic who is planning on visiting this cathedral to have mass here
