"As an organist I am able to choose my repertoire from a wide range of organ works of different styles and eras. I treasure passionately traditional organ art, organ music as well as the art of organ building. My discography includes works by composers such as J. S. Bach, F. Liszt, M. Reger and features significant instruments of Finland. The richness and variety of organ types offer a tremendous amount of possibilities for expressing musical ideas. To give contemporary composers the opportunity to explore these possibilities of sounds even further, to present the features of the organ to composers and to premiere their new works are essential goals of my artistic work. I hope you will find this collection of contemporary organ works, the performances and the sound of the organs inspiring. " - Susanne Kujala
