Organist Flemming Dreisig, cathedral organist at Copenhagen Cathedral, performs highlights from the music played at the 2004 royal wedding of Crown Princess Mary and Crown Prince Frederik. The programme draws on the prelude music, which included Danish and French organ pieces chosen with specific wishes for the ceremony, as well as the music played during the wedding itself.
The concert includes well-known Danish hymns from the service, and it closes with Widor's famous Toccata from his Fifth Organ Symphony, chosen by Prince Consort Henrik as the recessional music. It was also the piece played at the wedding of Crown Prince Frederik's sister Margrethe in 1967, a fitting finale for anyone who enjoys organ music or remembers that day.
