Awards and reviews
July 2008
Michael Bonaventure's does get Messiaen's music to lift off the page, even in the most rigorous pages of the Livre d'orgue. The organ of St Giles, Edinburgh has the power and range of colour needed, with the fierce chords at the opening of 'Les mains de l'abîme' fizzing with tension.
May 2008
Playing that fully embraces the Messiaen spirit in demanding works.
