About
One of the most visited places on Earth, Notre Dame cathedral is celebrating 850 years in 2013. It obviously has had a long tradition of music, especially with its renowned great organs. One of the most notable organists of our time, current owner of the extremely prestigious post of organist of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, Olivier Latry pays tribute to some of his predecessors over the last three centuries, since the organs got their modern structure: Daquin, Balbastre, Beauvarlet-Charpentier, Vierne, Cochereau… The pieces performed in this unique recording were all composed by those extraordinary musicians and reflect more than 300 years of music history.

Latry delivers with predictable virtuosity and musicianship a well-chosen programme that mixes a few of the usual French suspects with some less commonly-heard repertoire… as well as being thoroughly listenable-to, this is one of the (rather few) organ CDs I would happily give to an acquaintance unfamiliar with the instrument’s arcana

Latry is a phenomenal interpreter of Messiaen and he creates something of the same sound-world here and in the Preludes of Jean-Pierre Leguay, which, with their irregular rhythms, isolated monodies and birdsong-like flourishes, among other similarities, suit this organ perfectly.
5th August 2013
This kind of compilation needs to have a good raison d’être to tease my interest, and Olivier Latry’s Trois siècles d’orgue has just that...This programme is a fine souvenir of one of the world’s greatest organs played by one of today’s best organists. The programme is both satisfying in its own right as well as an invitation to explore further, and with a very fine recording it’s also a sonic treat.
