He has studied at Tokyo University of the Arts and has close ties to Japan. His style is a fusion of the solemnity of traditional French organ music as represented by Langrée and Dupré and the exquisite counterpoint of German late Romanticism as represented by Reger, and draws out the full potential of the modern organ. The \"Seven Scenes from the Bible\" and the stately Chorale Prelude are grand and energetic depictions of dramatic scenes and liturgical music from the Old Testament, while the \"Variations and Grotesque Fugue\" based on the \"Happy Birthday\" melody is a humorous and satirical piece. The performance is by Finnish virtuoso Jan Lehetra, who skillfully utilizes the sounds of historical instruments such as the Turku Cathedral, St. Michael's Church, and St. Paul's Church in Finland.\n\n*This is a boxed set of previously released albums.\n\nNaxos Japan\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Toccata Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51813337301281,"sku":"4589538826154","price":334.0,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4589538826154.jpg?v=1757947178","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/en-dk\/products\/4589538826154","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
