Orgelmatiné Med Ann-kristin Färnström by Bach, J. S., Bhraonáin, Guilmant, A., Demessieux, Mercury, De (2023/2023), Konserthus, Estocolmo, Suécia

Through the Concert Hall's popular series of organ matinees, the audience gets to hear prominent organists play on the house's own organ, which with its 6,100 pipes is one of the largest in Europe. Ann-Kristin Färnström has been organist in Skön's parish in Medelpad for 30 years, where she has made a great contribution to art music and musical life. She is trained in organ playing and improvisation at the Royal Academy of Music in Stockholm under professors Torvald Torén and Anders Bondeman. We hear music by Bach, the French organ romantic Alexandre Guilmant and French Jeanne Demessieux – but also some surprising elements. Or how about an arrangement by the rock group Queens Bohemian Rhapsody? Or Irish Enya's emotional world hit Athair ar neamh - which was played at the wedding of Prince Carl Philips and Sofia Hellqvist.
