Bate Discography of CDs

One of the most celebrated of all Olivier Messiaen interpreters, organist Jennifer Bate, headlines this rendition of the said composer's La Nativité du Seigneur, performed and shot amid the majestic interiors of Norwich Cathedral in Norfolk, England. The composition in question constitutes a series of nine different meditations on the Christmas message. This recording of Jennifer Bate, one of the foremost international organists of our day, playing Oliver Messiaen's La Nativité du Seigneur was made in the magnificent setting of Norwich Cathedral, when a capacity audience gave her virtuoso performance a prolonged ovation. Messiaen's religious works for the organ have been compared with those of Beethoven in their greatness for the solo instrument. La Nativité du Seigneur is no exception: its virtuosity embraces a magnificent cycle of nine meditations on the Christmas message. Bate's recordings of Messiaen's complete organ works have won international acclaim and many prestigious awards.
