@VoceCorale Thanks! Sorry for the late reply but I only saw your comment now!

...where can I find the DVD?.
-
there was another part on youtube, with an improvisation that starts with a sustained organ note? can't seem to find it...
-
@organ444 Well, I'm not French-speaking, but it must be something like: «and the shepherds in the fields saw the appearance of a host of angels singing "Gloria in excelsis Deo", glory to God in the highest»

This is absolutely wonderful!!
Fancy that... The Great Messiaen himself, improvising so vividly - sometimes, it doesn't even 'sound like Messiaen', either, with some 'real', 'normal' major chords - without the default +sixth - and the whole improvisation becomes very warmhearted and honest indeed!

Sublime! I never thought I'd hear what a Messiaen improvisation sounded like! Sheer talent! I had no idea what he was saying at the start though. Hopefully my French will be better in a few years! I just love French organ music.
Thanks
