Olivier Messiaen’s Complete Works for Organ<\/span>
\nJon Gillock, Organist<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

In 2014, Jon Gillock began releasing his recordings of Messiaen\u2019s Complete Organ Works on the Raven label. They are being recorded on the new organ by Pascal Quoirin (St. Didier, France) at The Church of the Ascension, NYC. He participated in the design of this French organ, which is ideal for Messiaen\u2019s music. Although the acoustic in the church is excellent and warm, it is not terribly reverberant. This aspect provides an added dimension to this music because one can hear all the detail of the compositions, which are not hidden by an overly reverberant space. This acoustic is similar to that found in concert halls, where orchestras perform Messiaen\u2019s music. These recordings show that this unusual body of music can function in more than one setting.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

To date, five volumes have been released. The sixth and last volume will soon be available.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

These recordings are obtainable directly from Raven (ravencd.com<\/a>) and Amazon (amazon.com<\/a>).<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat distinguishes Gillock\u2019s performance is the feeling that he has lived with and thought about this music for a very long time. Not only is the playing impeccable, virtuosic, precise, and throughly attuned to the composer\u2019s aesthetic, but there is an overall warmth, expressiveness, and confident musicality. This is something so often missing in performances of this complex music \u2014 it can sound like an exercise in getting all the notes right, counting the Hindu rhythms correctly, and pulling the correct stops.\u201d

\u201cIn this album, the organist Jon Gillock performs the pieces Diptyque and Les Corps glorieux on the organ at La Trinit\u00e9 in Paris – the results are quite frankly amazing.
