Watch video-examples of organ works by Olivier Messiaen and new ways of playing keyboard instruments

Remastered edition of complete organ works by Olivier Messiaen on 8 CDs:

With virtuoso lightness, unfailing timing and inexhaustible wealth of colours, Tanke opens up Messiaen's heaven...his interpretations touch the heart through the organist's peace of mind and sensitivity...this collection is a milestone in the Messiaen discography and a great moment in his organ music.                               (Miquel Cabruja, klassik.com)

'This new set by Willem Tanke is most certainly Messiaenic heaven to me, and has placed the music far closer to my heart than any of the previous sets. This recent release is as close to perfect as I think I will find'                              (Simon Fitzgerald, The Organ)

American Stereo Guide on SACD-recording of Wind-Fantasies 1&2:

Tanke has one of the most interesting musical minds I have encountered in some time. He performs his pieces with the verve and panache that they deserve. This is a very important release'  (Ralph Blakely)
