From Messiaen's La Nativité: https://smarturl.it/Messiaen
The thrilling final movement from Messiaen's nine-part La Nativité, performed by Richard Gowers on the organ of King's College Chapel, Cambridge. The culmination of the entire cycle owes its vast fame at least in part to the worldwide annual broadcast of A Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols.
Written in 1935, La Nativité du Seigneur is one of Messiaen’s most popular organ works, and a piece that helped to establish the then 27 year-old as an important figure in contemporary music.
Born in 1994, Richard Gowers is a British organist, pianist and conductor. After becoming a prize-winning Fellow of the Royal College of Organists at the age of 17, he took the distinguished position of organ scholar at King’s College, Cambridge in 2014.
Richard's first solo recital album is available on the King's College label: http://smarturl.it/messiaen
