New website – new photos

It’s been a very, very long time since my last update of this website. Since the last update, I’ve become the organist of a second church, Fjærland church, and most important – I’ve become a proud father of a beautiful girl, who is now 15 months old.

When I was about to update this website, I sort off did a whole new website. You will not be able to comment any more, and I’m in the process of moving all my audio files to my SoundCloud account. They, and new ones, will still be playable directly from this website, though.

The biggest change for me is – brand new photos. My sister, who is a professional photographer, were given the task, and delivered some photos I’m really proud of! Please visit her website – she is a great photographer!

Recording from concert in Bergen cathedral

Friday october 3rd, I had a concert in Bergen cathedral, to celebrate my 30th birthday. The audience mostly consisted of my friends and family.

On the concert, this programme was performed:

Johann Sebastian Bach – Toccata & Fugue, d minor
Arvo Pärt – Trivium
Louis James-Alfred Lefébure-Wély – Sortie, Eb major
Maurice Duruflé – Méditation
Franz Liszt – Prelude & Fugue, B-A-C-H

In addition, I had an encore, which was my homage to my parents who October 5th celebrated their 40th anniversary as a married couple. For this, I played the recessional from their wedding:

Johann Sebastian Bach – Prelude, Eb major

The recording from this concert is available through my SoundCloud profile:

New video on YouTube

It’s been a while since I uploaded this video to my YouTube-account, but now it’s also available through my website. This is a recording of Alexandre Guilmant’s Finale from his 5th Sonata, recorded in Bergen Cathedral, September 2013. I hope you will enjoy it.

You’ll find the video on the top of my “Videos”-page.
