63 LOUIS THIRY 29 March 1963 Dear M. Thiry, I remember perfectly your performance on the organ of my Messe de la Pentecôte , Le Banquet céleste , and the Chants d’oiseaux from my Livre d’orgue . I was dazzled by your musicality, your memory, and the perfection of your interpretations. So you can imagine that I would be delighted to assist you on the occasion of a recording of some or all of my organ works. With my warmest best wishes and profound respect, Olivier Messiaen
