Prom 42: Jennifer Bate

Jennifer Bate

Organist Jennifer Bate has been one of Messiaen's staunchest British champions, and this year sees her performing his music all over the world.

In the 1980s she recorded his complete organ works to considerable acclaim ('Bate's scholarly approach and fastidious playing are reason enough ... to collect the complete set,' wrote the BBC Music Magazine) and her world-premiere recording of his last organ work, Livre du Saint Sacrement, won a Grand Prix du Disque.

This afternoon she juxtaposes the Apparition de l'église éternelle with La Nativité du Seigneur - both works written in the 1930s.

  • Messiaen Apparition de l'église éternelle (10 mins)
  • Messiaen La Nativité du Seigneur (57 mins)

There will be no interval
