  • Along with this 'vintage' video we wish you a Happy New Year 2014 - it was filmed in 2002! Kalevi Kiviniemi plays his arrangement of a Rhapsody on a theme by Niccolo Paganini. This recording is a special one: it was made in St. Michael's Church in Turku, Finland, in the autumn 2002 during the week of the inauguration of the organ. This is the first ever audio/video recording made with this organ! The organ was built by a Swedish organ builder Grönlund, and it was inaugurated in the 13th of October, 2002. The organ has 52 stops, and it represents the French romantic tradition.
    The audio was taken from the original separate high quality recording setup, not from the built-in microphone of the video camera or from its audio system. Although filming was made in standard definition (SD), video was upscaled before loading, so it looks and sounds slightly better in 720p. Audio, video, editing and description by Mika Koivusalo.

    Very beautiful, great organist and what a spectacular organ.thank you. I have once tried as a child to play organ, played Bach on piano. It is one thing to listen to somebody but to play it oneself, in a country, empty European small church, the beauty, majesty overwhelmed me. Can never forget that experience! No wonder it is called the king of all instruments!!!

    Very impressive, as always. Maître Kiviniemi is one of the most creative and is for sure the most energic organist of his generation.

    Can you tell us more about the organ? Tracker action? An interesting amalgam of a Cav-Coll style ampitheater console with modern electronic registration aides. Are the spoon pedals electric or mechanical? Brilliant!

    Not a beautiful p[erformance. You only played a FEW segments of the variations and hurried up to the 18th. and from there jumped to the 24th

      @@sathya999 The "Correct version "?? Don't you mean COMPLETE version. Who us "Us All" One thing I don't have to do it prove anything to you or anyone else. What ever disparagement you feel like posting, it does not change the FACT that he did NOT play the complete piece, which was the topic of my comment. There is nothing that I do, or anyone else for that matter, that will change the fact that the piece was not completely performed. Before you shoot your mouth off, why don't you stay on topic. Since you seem to know so much, why didn't you recognize that he did a lazy man's version of this piece. Judging by your snide remark, you don't even know that he omitted several of the variations.
