Kristian Krogsøe

For the record label Danacord, he has recorded the complete organ works of Maurice Duruflé as well as his Requiem (with the Aarhus Cathedral Choir and Concert Clemens, conducted by Carsten Seyer-Hansen). The recording received the Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik in 2012. This was followed by the CD A Tribute to J. S. Bach, featuring Romantic organ music and arrangements of Bach works by composers including F. Liszt and M. Reger. To mark the reinauguration of the organ at Aarhus Cathedral in 2020, the double CD The Great Organ of Aarhus Cathedral was released, featuring Kristian Krogsøe alongside Swedish organist Anders Johnsson, performing works by composers including J. S. Bach, M. Dupré and J. B. Robin.
He studied at the Royal Academy of Music, Aarhus, with Ulrik Spang-Hanssen and Christian Præstholm, and subsequently at the Universität der Künste in Berlin, where his teachers included Leo van Doeselaar, Erwin Wiersinga and Paolo Crivellaro.
Since making his debut at Berlin Cathedral (Berliner Dom), he has performed concerts featuring a wide-ranging repertoire throughout Denmark and internationally. As a soloist with orchestras, he has appeared with the Aarhus Symphony Orchestra and with the Berlin Staatskapelle under the direction of Daniel Barenboim. He has also collaborated with the Vocal Group Ars Nova Copenhagen, directed by Paul Hillier, and the Danish National Vocal Ensemble (DR Vokalensemblet), directed by Marcus Creed.
