“One day, the world will discover Tournemire” – Olivier Messiaen

With this album, Montréal-born organist Vincent Boucher launches an ambitious project to record the complete liturgical works by the 20th century composer, Charles Tornemire. Volume I features the Resurrection Cycle performed on the Casavant organ in Sts. Anges-Gardiens church in Lachine. Boucher balances his remarkable career as an organist with a parallel career as a financial analyst. He was awarded the 2005 Opus Prize for Discovery of the Year.

“Boucher could not possibly play these works with any more vigour and variety, distilling every possible colour from the organ’s 15 ranks of pipes.”
