Blå Koral (Blue Chorale)

Exalted organ music juxtaposed with down-to-earth guitars to give an unbiased interpretation of a selection of psalms and popular hymns.

All music that surrounds us in our daily lives has it’s roots in humans need to communicate with what has given us life and thoughts. The European organ music, the old Norwegian, religious folk tunes and choir-music from the black Baptist churches in the south states all represent a tremendous source to create wonderful music. Knut Reirsrud and Iver Kleive recorded this album in St. Knuds church in Odense, Denmark during two nights in April 1991. 

The album received excellent reviews: “A close-knit musical triumph” (Puls); “Worthy of all the superlatives” (Dagbladet); “Excellent” (Adresseavisen); and won the 1991 Norwegian Grammy Award.
