http://www.musicweb-international.com/classrev/2008/Apr08/Messiaen_dcd34016.htm Posted by Gabriel Jackson on April 24, 2008, 12:28 am 79.74.125.240 A couple of misapprehensions in this review: The Rieger organ at St Giles', Edinburgh, was inaugurated in 1992 when Michael Bonaventure was 30 so if he "learned his craft" on this instrument, he must have ben a very late starter (which he wasn't)! Gillian Weir's Messiaen recordings were made by Collins Classics and were subsequently reissued by Priory. They have never been on Deutsche Grammophon!  Post a Response
