The seeds for Messiaen's final organ work were sown during an inspirational trip to Israel in 1984. o ver the course of the next twelve months, Messiaen found improvisation leading him back to composition after the exhausting labours that had produced his mighty opera Saint François d'Assise . The Livre du Saint Sacrement became Messiaen's grand farewell to his own instrument, and Michael Bonaventure performs it from memory here on the Rieger organ at St Giles' Cathedral, whose true acoustic preserves the clarity of Messiaen's lines. The stunning booklet incorporates a booklet essay written by Messiaen biographer Nigel Simeone and features full colour photography.

In the 1960s few would have predicted that Peter Maxwell Davies would eventually write a set of Evening Canticles; yet religious texts have always been of fundamental importance to the composer, as this disc vividly demonstrates by bringing together sacred masterworks from both ends of his career. Tough, uncompromising and of surpassing beauty, Davies’ major contributions to the Anglican repertoire are given thrilling voice by these fearless champions of contemporary liturgical music.

Nourished by Messiaen's beloved birdsong and Hindu rhythms, the Méditations bring alive the deepest mysteries of Catholicism and are here performed with a visceral intensity by Michael Bonaventure. This powerfully idiosyncratic composer's music has been realised on an organ of immense range and apocalyptic power.
