Jeanne Demessieux (1921-1968) "You have shown us this evening that we are in the present of a phenomenon equal to the youth of Bach and Mozart. Marcel Dupré "In the world of the arts, a fairytale evokes either annoyance or delight.

Jeanne Demessieux was one of the great virtuoso organists of the 20th century. Born in Montpellier on 13 February 1921, she was first taught the piano by her older sister before enrolling at the Montpelier Conservatoire aged just 7, where she won first prizes in piano and solfge. After five more years of lessons with DuprŽ she made her professional recital debut. That debut comprised a series of 12 recitals at the Salle Pleyel in Paris where she not only played everything from memory but improvised a four-movement symphony. As a composer Jeanne Demessieux produced a catalogue of around 30 original compositions. Perhaps surprisingly, only eight of these are for solo organ, the rest (largely unpublished) comprise songs, piano pieces, orchestral and choral works including an extended oratorio.
