ORGAN CONCERT WITH STEFAN DONNER
Donner in Oslo Cathedral – Oslo International Church Music Festivl
The Austrian organist Stefan Donner has made a name for himself as a concert organist and garnered international recognition. This is his first time visiting the festival. At the concert in Oslo Cathedral, he will present a beautiful and varied program. Mozart’s Allegro and Andante, KV 608, and Eine kleine Gigue, KV 574 combine a classical form with playful counterpoint, while Bach’s Sonata in D minor, BWV 527 represents the trio sonata’s balance between voice-leading and structure. Franz Schmidt’s four chorale preludes continue the German chorale tradition, and the concert concludes with Max Reger’s Fantasia and Fugue in D minor, Op. 135b, a work combining Bach’s polyphonic heritage with romantic intensity and harmonic complexity.
