Olivier Latry, organist of Notre-Dame de Paris, is considered one of the greatest organists of our time. His recordings, not only of the French repertoire, enjoy reference status. On the occasion of his 60th birthday, Latry’s complete recordings for Deutsche Grammophon are now being released in one edition.

The box set includes Latry’s acclaimed reference recording of the complete organ works of Olivier Messiaen on 10 CDs and a bluray audio disc, as well as the albums “In spiritum” with works by César Franck and “Midnight in Notre-Dame” with organ transcriptions of works ranging from Bach to Wagner. An entire CD features previously unreleased recordings of the In Spiritum and Midnight At Note-Dame recording sessions, and a bonus CD includes Latry’s recordings for Decca France. Finally, on a Blu-ray Audio, parts of the works can be experienced audiophile-style in 96 kHz/24-bit stereo and 5.1 surround, as well as in a new Dolby Atmos remastering.

The booklet includes a history of the organ of Notre-Dame by Olivier Latry, an essay by musicologist Günter Lade, and also a detailed listing of the Notre-Dame organ and its stops.
This edition celebrates Latry’s 60th birthday as well as the 200th birthday of César Franck’s and commemorates the 30th anniversary of Olivier Messiaen’s death.
