Description
or most organists. Despite the great recognition and popularity the composer
enjoyed in his time, as a church musician he was regarded as too conservative.
To be sure, his tonal language is forward-looking, but it is the heritage of Bach
and a penchant for classical forms that shine through in his organ works.
Here, we travel to Katarina Church in the Söder district of Stockholm to find an
organ built after French models that could recreate something of the spectacular
atmosphere of the Parisian organ galleries. German matter-of-factness has
dominated Norwegian organ tradition, while the French Romantic organ has
had greater popularity in Sweden. Katarina Church, up until the devastating
fire of May 1990, had one of northern Europe s most magnificent Romantic
organs, often used for recording French organ music. The new organ is built
in a corresponding style, and has become a splendid instrument already used
on a number of recordings.
