Messiaen's La Nativite du Seigneur

Naji Hakim plays Olivier Messiaen's LA NATIVITE DU SEIGNEUR on the Grand Orgue of the Church of La Trinite, Paris.  Vol 21, no 2, The BBC Music Magazine Collection.

This assemblage of disconnected riffs, motifs, stunts, tricks, and noises reminds us why pastors, assistant pastors, vergers, and the nice folks who tidy up after divine services should be careful to keep the church organ locked lest someone walk in and abuse it.
