I've heard Mr. Trotter twice in recital and he is just outstanding. He played the Durufle Suite Opus 5 on the Aeolian-Skinner at Westminster Presbyterian Church in Buffalo and it was a revelation....this was many years ago, but I'll never forget it. This performance is superb in terms of the performance; I find the organ a bit thin and the acoustics of the hall surprisingly dry. Of course, one's impression on site might be quite different.
I played it at a wedding aound 30 years ago - started at the toccatta section for them to walk out to - I think most of the congregation thought I had taken a turn for the worse!
Just love Messiaen. Thomas Trotter is one amazing performer. Saw him playing Ligeti's Volumina in Birmingham a few years ago together with some Messiaen. Not so sure on this one, as there are a number of very good recordings by others. Depends also on the organ. Cavaille -Coll beats all, I guess
Great playing & interpretation by the terrific Mr. Trotter. Do not care for this organ at all. Perhaps the recording quality, but it sounds more like a mediocre electronic organ. In fact, I've heard some digital instruments that sound better than this thing. Acoustics not great either.

I have seen Thomas Trotter live and he is brilliant.
This peice is difficult to say the least, I wouldn't attempt it.

If this was played slower, he would have stopped.
