This fifth and final volume of the celebrated Saint-Sulpice series from organist and composer Marcel Dupré is dedicated to the music of Messiaen as well as Dupré's own works. Produced under the Mercury Living Presence banner, Dupré recorded all five albums in Paris over a nine day period in July 1959. Requiring shipment of an equipment-filled truck from the US, the sessions began at about 9 p.m. each evening and lasted into the early hours, a tiring experience for the 73 year old Dupré, whose hands progressively stiffened on the heavy key action of the great St. Sulpice organ. The series proved to be a massive success when first released and these albums have remained popular for more than five decades.
