As well as both soloist diplomas, he also received the Prix d’Excellance for Organ in 1979. After his study he went on to study ‘historical’ organ playing by means of a few courses, French organ repertoire with André Isoir and followed forte-piano lessons with Malcolm Bilson and Jos van Immerseel.
Leo van Doeselaar is a versatile musician who commands a repertoire of a few centuries as organist, pianist and forte-pianist. In addition to his professorship at the Hochschule der Künste in Berlin, he has built up a large concert practice as organist at home and abroad. He is also a much demanded pianist. For more than 20 years he has formed a piano duo with Wyneke Jordans, plays a lot of chamber music and performs as a hymn accompanist.

In addition to numerous organ recordings his discography comprises of 8 CD’s together with Wyneke Jordans with repertoire for piano á quattre mains. The recordings of Chamber Music No. 7 for organ and orchestra by Paul Hindemith with the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra under the direction of Riccardo Chailly together with the other six Chamber Music received a Grammy award.
