Live at Southbank Centre: Olivier Latry
Olivier Latry in an organ recital at the Royal Festival Hall. Florentz: Prelude (L'enfant noir). Messiaen: 4 meditations symphoniques (L'ascension). Widor: Organ Symphony No 5.
Olivier Latry, the celebrated organiste titulaire at Notre Dame in Paris, performs an all-French recital on the newly-restored organ of the Royal Festival Hall, as part of 'Pull Out all the Stops.'
Tonight he plays the four symphonic meditations from Messiaen's L'Ascension, including the brilliant Transports de joie. And Latry's recital ends with Widor's Fifth Symphony and its famous concluding Toccata. Stand by though for an encore: Olivier Latry's improvisations at Notre Dame are the stuff of legend.
