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.
