@stylusfantasticus - I also don't think it's that great a performance. Too fast for my taste, feels rushed in places. Ian Ball's performance is the benchmark for me.
Jean-Claude Raynaud was (is?) one of the finest organists on this earth. A pity that only a handful of his recordings from the 1960s are available to us.
Grandioze muziek op een grandioze wijze uitgevoerd op een grandioos Cavaille Coll orgel!
Merci bien Jean-Claude Raynaud, Olivier Messiaen et Aristide Cavaille Coll.

Fantastic performance. The organ had a marvellous tone colour which today has gone.

@stylusfantasticus - what are you talking about? It's never been altered in any way, only restored exactly as it was in 1888.
