This book got the « special key » from ResMusica.com in 2010 Press abstracts Jean-Louis Florentz, l’œuvre d’orgue : témoignages croisés « Jean-Louis Florentz has been called one of the most important French composers for the organ since Messiaen. This book is a compilation of writings about Florentz, his life, and his organ music- the first such book evee to appear, and so a landmark in its field. (…) Madame Langlais’s book is an absorbing read, filled with rich and fascinating detail, giving us a multifaceted portrtait of this complex, creative personality. (…) Two CDs accompany the book, presenting all four of these pieces in composer-supervised recordings (…) The CDs alone would be worth the price of the book; that this price includes an excellent book of nearly 200 pages makes this one of musicology’s best bargains”. Timothy Tikker, The American Organist, January 2011 Hommage à une étoile filante de la musique « …Les disques inclus ici nous font entendre une musique originale, inouïe, utilisant l’orgue pour ses timbres, ses climats…Tout se joue en subtilités, mélodies et rythmes, puisés dans cette Afrique qu’il aimait tant et qu’il a tant fréquentée. Messiaen avait choisi l’Inde et les oiseaux. Ces derniers se retrouvent aussi chez Florentz, souvent sous des tapis sonores planants, tel du Tournemire. » Frédéric Munoz, ResMusica.com , 12/11/2009
