Concert Review
Patrick Wedd presented a spectacular interpretation of Messiaen's "La Nativité du Seigneur" on Saturday. His artful mastery of Messiaen's unique harmonic and rhythmic language, coupled with carefully selected registrations that Dr. Wedd tailored especially for the Christ Church organ, shone a new light on this festive favourite. Christ Church has now taken to projecting the organist in the loft onto a screen at the front of the church, thus allowing all a spectacular view of a top-notch performance of this incredible work. Acclamations for the final movement — Dieu parmi nous. Bravo, Patrick! samedi 21décembre 2013 / Saturday 21st December 2013
