Sietze de Vries plays some jolly Praetorius on the Groningen Martinikerk organ

When I asked Sietze to demonstrate the reeds on the Groningen Martinikerk organ he added some extra stops and played this wholly uplifting piece of jollity by Praetorius. Simply marvellous!

He’s such an outstanding player wow!!!!

[@l000kin]

It's somehow strange to hear it without Kalina's percussions 😀, but the CD is on the shelf next to me and this version taken directly from console is also very interesting. Many thaks for sharing!

[@phillipchapman169]

That was a lovely performance.😊

[@05Forenza]

[@MarcelMangnus]

This is the 'Courante' from Praetorius his 'Suite de danses' (1612)

Wat klinkt dit goed op dit orgel, heb het drie keer achter elkaar afgespeeld.

[@henkjansen9847]

Het tertsplenum van het Martiniorgel is geweldig!

[@wouterattheorgan]

nice to hear the sound at console sounds nice too

[@MarkVeenman730314]

One hears where Handel got some inspiration for part of his hallelujah chorus. Anyone else hear this?
Lovely recording. Dank je wel.

[@parkstonebaptist1277]

Have often noticed this. Glad it’s not just me.

Kijk dit is nu feest vieren met het orgel !!

Schitterend die rauwe klank van de stevige tongwerken dichtbij.

I love this piece and this organ. It’s a shame you don’t seem to get much of sense of the organ speaking into that fabulous acoustic space from the loft.

[@jaspersikkenga9962]

[@noflatscher]

I wish the Miraphones were in the church nave. The organ isn’t heard properly from the loft.

[@user-xxxxxn]

this is how an organ sound for an organist.

The suite is also known as 'Terpsichore'. You can watch Sietze playing more from the suite here: ruclips.net/video/3oIpvftRcac/видео.html
