I have been in that church many, many times in the 1990's when I used to work for a company based in Luebeck, a beautiful city. This is the first time I have heard the organ it was never played when I was visiting. I was fascinated that Bach had visited Luebeck and send 3 months I think it was there and Buxtehude was resident and many of his compositions where probably played for the very first time there.
Buxtehude was appointed "Kantor" at the Marienkirche and remained in that position for many years. This church was in that time an important musical center. One of his pupils was JSB (circa 1703)
A fascinating instrument, stunningly presented - you certainly now how to bring out the best in the instrument Balint. A wonderful education you have given us!
What lovely sounds! Having visited there, though, it's as much about the acoustics of the place, and how they blend with the organ. This "Little Organ" is the gem -- there's also a bigger organ, and it sounds wonderful too, but the Stellwagen is the one with character. Thanks for showing that character here!
The Trechterregal/Trichterregal and the Schalmei would blend well together. What beautiful early stops. I believe it would work well as a chorus trumpet for a home organ; especially if mounted en chamade or mitered forward to project their sound. They may not be ideal at 4' pitch though, due to their subdued tone. When combined with the brightness of the Regal Length Schalmei (Especially a Rohr Schalmei), at 4' pitch, you get a very good approximation of a trumpet stop without as much in your face growl of a normal regal while still having a shorter resonator compared to a full length reed like a trumpet. Heck, I've gone through many revisions of a future home organ project that seeks to reacquire and expand my father's Wicks 3 rank unit organ to 14 ranks for a basement and even though I wanted something like a Bombarde, the full length resonators and the very loud volume is a detractor, even on low wind pressure. The brassy yet also reedy sound of the Trechterregal combined with the brightness of the Schalmei is a perfect compromise for me.
There are lots of fine organs being installed in America nowadays. Most builders have seen the light, at last. Much thanks is owed to D. Flentrop, Albert Schweitzer, E. Power Biggs, and many others.
American organs pale !! What a dumb statement !! American pipe organs have balls. I will take a Skinner any day over most early instruments ! I must say that this instrument is really fine and has a pleasant variety of sound too. A wonderful tour of the organ as well ! Great presentation Balint.! Best always !
@@bachkirche AND let's not forget Virgil Fox who took the organ out of the closet (church) and took BACH to the masses who loved Bach and Fox for his unforgettable showmen ship and contagious excitement for his craft !
@@ricktomlinson5481 American organs might be big or loud but sound like bad synthesizers. Historic organs always sound better. Few modern organ builders can achieve the livelyhood of old organs. Jürgen Ahrend, Bernard Aubertin, J. L. Boisseau, Bertrand Cattiaux are those few
Thanks a lot for this beautiful video, dear Balint! But there is no information about the short octave!! I think the organ demonstration video is not full without this essential moment!!! Kind regards ❤
What an amazing sounding instrument!! I saw in the comments that it is tuned to A=440? That's kind of unusual for a Renaissance era organ, since most of them were tuned to A=432 or lower. Regardless, it sounds beautiful, and the stops added over the years fit right in with the nature of the organ.😍😁👍🎵🎶🎵
A lovely demonstration on such a beautiful-sounding instrument! Wonderful playing too! Were all the musical examples taken from BuxWV 218? Thank you!!🌺
Is it actually legitimate to register reeds in the pedal even though there is no trumpet in the manual as you do at 3:40? I like to do it myself, but always have a guilty conscience ... What´s you opinion?
Ah, and may we soon see and hear Bálint playing the great 1659 Stellwagen at St. Marien, Stralsund, North Germany's mid-17th-c. gem, the sole survivor of its kind!
How on earth did I miss this channel. It's magnificent!
You truly have a blessed dream life! GOD LOVES THE HECK out of you Sir! Thank you eternally for sharing your extraordinary journey and knowledge 🙏🏼. Honor to your parents and teachers!
Thank you! You are too kind
merci beaucoup !!
i love the stops sticking out of the Rückpositiv
wonderful !!! Best wishes from Buenos Aires, Argentina !!!!
I love the tones of the regal stops on this organ. It’s so fun.
I NEVER understand the thumbs down.. it’s beautiful!
I was stunned by the sweetness & beauty of this organ when I heard it in a concert - it left a lasting impression!

Thanks for this great video. It's amazing to hear how close Fisk's copies at Wellesley sound compared to the original!

Thank you for demonstrating the organ and displaying the stops as you activate them. I truly enjoy listening!
Bravo bravo bravo
Fascinating! This is one of your best.
This video's content makes me happy.
Such a sweet sound. Especially that HW 8’ flute!
No need to be sorry. It was as though I was standing next to the chest.
A nice demonstration of a beautiful organ!
A beautiful sounding instrument. It seems that Helmut Walcher recorded on this organ in the 1950th and I had some the of 78
Records
Thank you! So many beautiful voices in this one...
Thank you very much for this felicitous presentation!
Well played, well demonstrated and well recorded. Kudos to you, Sir.

I like the sound of this historic organ. Fine demonstration.
this was a wonderful demonstration!
Wow, there were three organs in that church!

Have you considered a trumpet with half-length resonators?
Ein wunderschönes Instrument!
I can't help but envy your access to these instruments.
Such beautiful sound, most american organs pale at the sound of such instruments.

@@ricktomlinson5481 "the organ has balls". There's a ringing endorsement. The BIGGER the BETTER! Whatever.

Thank you for this demonstration
This place is such a dream.
Wonderful-Thank you!
Wonderful.
Amazing !!!
Ahh! A quintadena!
Stellwagen was a master! Lovely playing, too.
the pipes have faces? thats a first for me

It's one whole tone ABOVE 440! :)
It appears to be tuned to something like A=490!
@@agogobell28 Checked it against my electronic keyboard and A4=A#4, so around 466hz. in equal temperament. Interesting tuning.😉
It was not unuſual in þe renaißance to tune above 440, in the 460-490 range
Deberías hacer un vídeo de demostración de los órganos de la catedral de Málaga en España
I would love to!
Is the Rp Krummhorn draw off the Gedeckt 8' also? The bottom end is really full and wasn't sure if this was the case.
Yes
How did you create the drum effect with the 8ft gedeckt?
Very nice capture of this organ, as many you have recorded. What recording device do you use btw.
I use Zoom H5
Nice : principal 8' and gedackt 8'
Is that also the same Organ that Buxtehude (and maybe also Bach) played?
yes
