About

Olivier Messiaen (1908-1992) composed La Nativité du Seigneur (The Birth of the Lord) in the summer of 1935 in Grenoble near the French Alps. Messiaen wrote that in addition to theology, the movements were inspired by the mountains as well as stained glass windows in medieval cathedrals. The work received its first complete public performance at Eglise de la Saint-Trinite in Paris on 27th February 1936 and the performance was shared by three distinguished organists - Daniel-Lesur, Jean Langlais and Jean-Jacques Grunenwald. La Nativité du Seigneur consists of nine movements, or meditations, each of which is preceeded by a quotation from the Bible that corresponds to the theological content. Andrew Canning is one of the leading organists of his generation. He was born in London and stidied organ with David Sanger and Christopher Bowers-Broadbent at the Royal Academy of Music.
