This album is the final volume in the retrospective series featuring Finn Videro, undoubtedly the best Danish organist ever. This album features the legendary recordings on the 17th century Compenius organ together with the much sought after baroque German organ works. Also included is a rare live recording from Dallax, Texas from Videro's teaching years. Videro was born in Fuglebjerg, NÃ¦stved. He was the organist at the Reformed Church in Copenhagen from 1928 to 1941, the JÃ¦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 Ã…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 Videro's musical interpretations were as close to the authentic, artistic and historical representation intended by the composer as one could get.
