Product description

Embark on a serene and festive journey with Kalevi Kiviniemi's "Christmas in the Bleak Midwinter," a captivating album released on November 6, 2023, under his own label. This enchanting collection of 15 tracks, spanning 39 minutes, is a delightful blend of classical and holiday music, performed with exquisite skill on the Cavaillé-Coll Saint-Ouen organ in Rouen.

Kiviniemi's masterful playing brings to life a mix of well-known Christmas carols and classical pieces, including the hauntingly beautiful "In the Bleak Midwinter," the lively "Scherzo," and the joyous "In dulci jubilo." The album also features works by renowned composers such as Chopin, with his elegant "Valse Op. 24/5 in E Major," and Schumann, with his introspective "Consolation No. 2 in E Major."
