Louis Henry Nicolas Thiry (15 February 1935[1] – 27 June 2019)[2] was a French concert organist, composer and pedagogue. He was professor of organ at the Regional Conservatoire in Rouen and played in concerts internationally. His many recordings include the complete organ works of Olivier Messiaen in 1972, which received several awards and led the composer to describe him as "an extraordinary organist".[3] Thiry was blind.
