Sverker Jullander (organ)About
He began his musical career as a boy chorister and organist who deserted the seminary where he was enrolled to become an oboist in a wind band. Later, rejected from active service because of his age, he served as a military musician (oboe) during WWI. But it was his organ music that made him internationally famous as a composer, particularly in the USA and UK, although he was unusual in having no professional proficiency himself (a recital tour of the USA in 1932 was so disastrous that it might even have precipitated his death a year later).
His own organ music is frequently recorded and heard in recitals, but his many organ transcriptions are less familiar. After Wagner, Bach was the composer whose music Karg-Elert transcribed most often, carefully choosing the pieces best suited to the dynamic and colouristic possibilities of the late Romantic organ.
Sverker Jullander is Professor of Musical Performance at the Luleå University of Technology, Sweden, and Director of Doctoral Education at the Faculty of Fine, Applied and Performing Arts at the University of Gothenburg. A specialist in the Swedish late-Romantic period and widely published and recorded, he has also appeared as an organ recitalist in Scandinavia, Northern Europe and Spain.
Sverker Jullander plays the Organ of Vasa Church, Gothenburg.
