Cathedral organist Jørgen Ellekilde takes to the great organ at Budolfi Church, Aalborg Cathedral, for a festive Christmas concert. The programme leans on familiar seasonal melodies arranged for organ, and the organ's many tonal colours are at the centre of the evening, with music that is lively, rousing and virtuosic.
Ellekilde also introduces the pieces from the organ bench, so listeners get a bit of context as the programme unfolds. It is a good midday outing for anyone who wants to get into the Christmas spirit in the splendid setting of the cathedral.
