Brahms Complete Organ Works – Kåre Nordstoga

Brahms´ organ music

Johannes Brahm´organ repertoire is far from extensive. Those works which do exist are, however, of a superior quality and bear witness to the fact that the composer was highly gifted at recognising and bringing forth the true substance of the organ and had a talent for immersing himself in the idioms of classical organ music and adapting these to suit his own personal style. The experienced organist Kåre Nordstoga performs Brahms´ preludes and fugues on the Ryde & Berg organ of Oslo Cathedral, deep-felt works that evokes both mourning and joyful feelings in the listener.
