The final volume in Delphian’s survey of Messiaen’s complete organ music takes in his earliest published works, in which, in the composer’s own words, the ‘abundance of technical means allows the heart to overflow freely’. The British Harrison instrument in St George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle reveals a surprising capacity to speak with a French accent in this music, and Timothy Byram-Wigfield’s combination of virtuosic majesty with a compelling and loving faith has already captured the imagination of reviewers for Volume I of the series. The booklet includes a 3000-word essay by Messiaen’s acclaimed biographer Nigel Simeone.

Timothy Byram-Wigfield (Caird Hall organ)
Designed by the blind organist Alfred Hollins, the Caird Hall instrument is one of the finest recital organs in the UK - as ideal a vehicle for Hollins’ own music as Byram-Wigfield is an exponent of it. Hollins effortlessly combines keyboard pyrotechnics with a quasi-orchestral approach to sonority. These works bristle with vigour, their swaggering confidence leavened with ingenuity and wit.

The Organ of St George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle
Timothy Byram-Wigfield presents Messiaen’s ground-breaking Les Corps Glorieux on the organ of Windsor’s St George’s Chapel, with its protean personality. Byram-Wigfield is an ideal exponent of this work and its extremities; from his sensitive approach to its spiritual narrative, to his thrilling handling of its gargantuan climaxes, the listener cannot fail to be drawn into Messiaen’s colouristic world.
