About This Item
A central figure in Danish musical life, Otto Malling's (1848-1915) substantial output of organ music was cast in the form of eleven suites of 'mood pictures' inspired by the Bible. Two of the three suites on this CD have never been recorded before. Organist Sverker Jullander is Professor of Musical Performance at Lulea University of Technology, Sweden. The 1909 organ of the Vasa Church, Gothenburg (rebuilt, 1943, 2002) is ideally suited to north European late-Romantic music. Album Tracks 1. Introduction Christmas Night 2.
