Program #9601 Organist Diane Bish plays the Åkerman & Lund organ of Uppsala Cathedral. The Cathedral is located centrally in the city of Uppsala, Sweden. It dates back to the late 13th century and at a height of 118.7 m is the largest church building in Scandinavia. Originally built under Roman Catholicism and used for coronations of the Swedish monarch, since the Protestant Reformation, it has been controlled by the Lutheran Church of Sweden. It is now the seat of the Archbishop of the Church of Sweden. The organ was built in 1871 by Per Larsson Åkerman. He was apprentice to Cavaillé-Coll amongst others and the organ therefore has a number of French-romantic features. It was rebuilt in 1939-1940 by the same firm and renovated in 1976 by Walter Thür. Some of the stops have been altered, but the organ still possesses most of its original character. It features 50 stops and is located in the western part of the cathedral, with its largest pipe reaching almost 40 feet tall.
