About the film
Tom Bell performs three of Messiaen's great cycles of organ music: La Nativité, Messe de la Pentecôte and the Livre du Saint-Sacrement. In a magisterial documentary, almost four hours long, Tom and biographer and scholar Christopher Dingle explores Messiaen's life and compositional styles and development in relation to his organ music. This includes footage in which Thomas Lacôte demonstrates the organ of Sainte Trinité in Paris, where the composer was organiste titulaire for 60 years.
