Finn Viderø - The Legendary Danish Organ Player, Vol. 4

Finn Viderø – The Legendary Danish Organ Player, Vol. 4

Price range: 20,00 $ through 38,00 $

Finn Viderø
The only son of lawyer Johan Poulsen, who, with respect to his Faroe Island ancestry, changed his surname to Viderø, Finn was born in 1906 in Fuglebjerg, a good hour’s drive from Copenhagen. He obtained his student examination from the nearby city Sorø, a town with a famous organ that would have immense influence on Viderø as an organist. Three of his first teachers were each icons in Denmark and gave young Viderø the basic training. His organ studies with Mogens Wöldike, later a conductor of the Palestrina Choir and mentor of singer Aksel Schiøtz, proved essential as did his studies in musicology with Jens Peter Larsen, renowned Danish baroque specialist, and not least the piano technique he learned from Alexander Stoffregen. When Viderø later taught his many private pupils it was the theories of Stoffregen where the balanced posture of the body at the organ bench combined with the right balance of arms and hand on keys position would create a legato playing of hitherto unheard of seamless clarity.

Finn Viderø: A Retrospective Volume 4 ©
One can clearly say that the happiest years in Viderø’s life as church organist were from 1940 when he was appointed at Jægersborg church, just a few miles
north of Copenhagen. Four years after the church could present a brand new organ build on the ideas of Viderø. It was the organ builders Marcussen & Son who installed the fine Baroque organ and to this day it is considered a true representative of the best from the ‘organ movement‘. In 1982 the organ was partly restored by the P.G. Andersen organ company.
