Hans Davidsson

Hans Davidsson is a Swedish organist and scholar celebrated for breathing new life into historical organ music. With a career spanning decades, he’s become a leading authority on Baroque repertoire, particularly the works of Dietrich Buxtehude, whose complete organ pieces he’s meticulously recorded. Davidsson’s passion isn’t just about playing the notes—he’s obsessed with historical accuracy, often performing on meticulously restored or replica instruments to capture the authentic soundscapes composers like Böhm and Weckman would have heard.

When he’s not touring or recording (check out his *Mendelssohn: 6 Organ Sonatas* or the *Morlanda Organ* album for a taste of his craftsmanship), Davidsson dedicates time to education and preservation. He co-founded the Göteborg Organ Art Center in Sweden and has held teaching roles at institutions like the Eastman School of Music, sharing his nerdy enthusiasm for organ mechanics and Baroque performance practices. Whether he’s unearthing forgotten Renaissance gems for albums like *Musik på Tre Kronor* or diving deep into Buxtehude’s world, Davidsson treats every pipe and pedal like a time machine.
