Description
The first recording of the Grand Organ I Stockholm City Hall!
The Stockholm City Hall is known around the world for housing the Nobel prize banquet. It is also home to the largest organ in Scandinavia. On this spectacular intrument, with its 10 000 pipes, Mattias Wager plays French music from the Thirties. The music, by Alain, Jolivet, Bonnal and Duruflé shows the scope and sheer creativity of its time, and its feeling of boundless musical possibilities.
With its wealth of sound, the City Hall organ is one of the few instruments that make it possible to really bring out all the colours in this repertoire. World-famous recording engineer Jan-Eric Persson has been able to catch the sounds of the organ and the feeling of the spacious hall.
