Noël in the Musiikkitalo

Organist Jan Lehtola showcases the expressive range of the Rieger organ at Musiikkitalo in a recording devoted to variations on Christmas melodies. The distinctive programme features nine sets of variations by six composers from France, Lebanon and England.

The music brings together old and new, with virtuosic writing ranging from delicate, gossamer-like passages and sumptuous harmonies to powerful, monumental outbursts.

This is Jan Lehtola’s first solo album recorded on the Rieger organ at Musiikkitalo, offering a captivating introduction to the rich and versatile sound world of this magnificent concert-hall organ.
