Latry captures the smoldering intensity of this incredible piece. His slow playing of the empyrean ending of this work was perfection. You feel like God has, indeed, come to earth.

This piece exemplifies just how gloriously terrifying Christ's nativity really was. It's like the light of the angel to the shepherds: you have to remember that the angels needed to say, "fear not!" for otherwise, they would have been frightened to death.

I wish all organists would draw out those amazing six chords near the end as Latry does. Many play them almost staccato, but they are so weird and so awesome that they should be aloud to ring out and do battle with the stones of the cathedral.

+docsketchy Messiaen's indication for the final chords (m 547) is "ffff staccato sempre." However, an excellent performer, like Latry, would use the instrument resources, the surrounding acoustics and his/her musicianship to produce the best effect for a magnificent work such as this.

...the term "god rays" is an artistic expression for beams of light that shine through clouds or windows. I used to be a painter and loved Maxfield Parrish's paintings some of which employed the effect. This is not to deny that I also find these final passages and harmonies spiritually uplifting as well, particularly in these dark times we live in.

Mr Sexton, ...thank you. I was set to meet with Mr. Messiaen in the Summer of 1992. One day when I came into work my supervisor told me to take the day off, when I asked why, she informed me that Messiaen had died. As a composer and improvisor, I always looked up to him as my "mentor". I even have my own copy of his "Technique Of My Musical Language". Sadly, severe arthritis has curtailed my music career, however I still look to finish several works which have been inspired by his work and his influences (like Mr, Messiaen I also have the condition known as synesthesia).

I would say that this is a beautiful play. I have a cd of this particular song but with much more clarity. I don't think the player playing in this video such. I read it is hard to record a pipe organ playing. Just too much clarity than any audio recorder can capture on a pipe organ. No wonder why pipe organ is a king of instruments.

The way your question is phrased, makes one thinking of this organ as a car or an electronic instrument. However, it is primarily an 1867 Cavaille-Coll but also a mix of several builders throughout the centuries. To have a better perspective, visit james.chauveau.free.fr/ND/paris_nd.htm

C'est drôle... Il y a le bruit des fidèles de la cathédrale. D'abord, ça semble gênant. Et puis on repense à l'oeuvre : "Dieu parmi nous". Et si c'est ça, Dieu parmi nous ? La Nativité faite musique, qui "descend" de la tribune de l'orgue sur la foule rassemblée dans la maison de Dieu ? Et qui descend dans le temple de Dieu qu'est le coeur ouvert de tout homme ? "Celui qui a des oreilles pour entendre, qu'il entende ! ".

+Véronique ??? C'est "Dieu parmi nous", Véronique, ne l'oubliez pas ! Y compris parmi cette foule bruyante et même parfois indisciplinée qui vient à Notre-Dame. L'incarnation de Dieu ne se fait pas dans le pseudo silence d'une hypothétique crèche. Elle se fait - aussi - dans le tumulte de vos vies. A côté d'autre versions de cette oeuvre, je trouve quant à moi que cette version vient curieusement télescoper vos vies d'hommes. Ce n'est jamais "dommage" que les hommes vivent, marchent, fassent du bruit... Les "pas perdus" (comme dans les gares), je ne sais pas ce que ça veut dire, car rien n'est jamais "perdu" dans la vie d'un homme. Et écoutez à 5:28 : Dieu est "parmi nous", non ? Regardez à 5:50 apparaître le visage de cette personne immobile et attentive. La cathédrale Notre-Dame ressemble parfois à un hall de gare. Bon. Mais il s'y passe de drôle de choses, dans cette gare-là !

Oui, mais ce n'est pas un CD, mais un enregistrement effectué à la volée avec un smartphone de 2011, ou une caméra vidéo, eh bien on entend bien toutes les notes, et la dimension de l'œuvre, dans l'ambiance de la nef. Magnifiquement interprété à mon avis, surtout en tenant compte de la réverbération énorme.
