Bach,J.S. / Buxtehude / Pachelbel Retrospective In Four Volumes 2 CD

This release is the second volume in the retrospective series featuring undoubtedly the greatest Danish organist ever. Finn Videro made these legendary recordings in the 1950s and they are here for the first time collected and presented in new digital masters. None were available in modern formatting prior to this series. All of these tracks have been expertly transferred from the best possible sources. Finn Videro played the organ music of Johann Sebastian Bach in a way that created envy and fear from all other organists. He used the baroque organs to perfection and his stylish way of performing simply stunned all and brought Bach-playing afresh. Vider? was born in Fuglebjerg, N?stved. He was the organist at the Reformed Church in Copenhagen from 1928 to 1941, the J?gersborg Church from 1942 to 1947, the Trinitatis Church in Copenhagen from 1947 to 1971 and St. Andreas Church in Copenhagen from 1971 to 1977. He was guest lecturer at Yale University and held an honorary doctorate from the University of ?bo in Finland. In 1933, he co-published with Oluf Ring a widely used organ primer. His organ playing was uncompromising and many believed that Vider?'s musical interpretations were as close to the authentic, artistic and historical representation intended by the composer as one could get.
