My first organ CD, A Tribute to Jeanne Demessieux

       

I was always fascinated by Jeanne Demessieux and her music, and when I was appointed titular organist in Saint-Esprit in 2005, I immediately thought about recording her music.

Demessieux worked in Saint-Esprit between 1933 and 1962, and then in La Madeleine from 1962 until her  passing in 1968, so to record on both her instruments, I asked François-Henri Houbart who generously granted me permission to record in La Madeleine.

Eric Baratin made the excellent recording and released it with his label Ligia Digital in 2011, for what would have been her 90 years anniversary.
