Olivier Messiaen’s monumental La Natividad du seigneur! (The Nativity of the Lord)! Described as one of the most important organ works of the twentieth century, this is deeply devotional and spiritual music. Student of Dukas, Widor, and Dupre and teacher of Boulez and Stockhausen, Messiaen explored the organ’s sonorities and tonalities in a stunningly original way. The work will be performed by Raymond Nagem, associate organist of the Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine in New York. One of the leading organists of his generation, Nagem has been praised by The New York Music Daily for his “gorgeous . . . often hypnotic playing.”
