Christmas Music
This recording captures the rich Scandinavian Christmas tradition, where music and light bring warmth to the long northern winter. The programme begins with some of Sweden’s most cherished advent and Christmas hymns, many of them adaptations of well-known German carols, sung with brilliance by the Malmö Chamber Choir under Dan-Olof Stenlund. The joyful anticipation of Christ’s birth is complemented by organ works rooted in the Lutheran tradition: Reger’s Weihnachten (blending Vom Himmel hoch and Stille Nacht), Pepping’s chorale settings, and Dupré’s jubilant Variations sur un Noël, played by Hans Fagius on the 1975 Christensen organ of Härnösand Cathedral. With choral splendour and organ majesty, this album reflects the festive heart of Swedish church life and the universal message of Christmas.
