In the second of this two-part performance series, Raymond Nagem, Associate Organist at St. John the Divine and C. V. Starr Doctoral Fellow at The Juilliard School, presents Olivier Messiaen's "L’Ascension" and "Messe de la Pentecôte." Organist, pianist, composer, and visionary, Messiaen wrote music of vivid color and intense contrasts, ranging from delirious joy to profound stillness. In the cathedral’s famous acoustics, underneath soaring Gothic arches, these meditations on the drama of Christ’s birth and resurrection take on spectacular power.
