THOMAS ÅBERG, composer Highlights
of 2003 Première in Prague by
On May 4th, 2003 German concert organist and
composer HARTWIG BARTE-HANSSEN made the first performance of THOMAS ÅBERG's new work for organ "WAITING FOR
ASTOR..." in St. Jacob's cathedral, Prague. "Waiting for Astor..." is dedicated to
Barte-Hanssen and its atmosphere is brought from the tango-world of the
Argentinean composer Astor Piazzolla. Over the years Barte-Hanssen has played a large
number of Åberg's works such as Symphony, Fantasy
A-minor etc. He also made the first German perfomance
of Åberg's "By the Sea at Night" (John Gracen Brown) with soprano Dr. Angela Kentsch
in August 2002 and played Three St. George Preludes in London St. Paul's July
