Interesting about the choir division. There is a school of thought that the term 'choir' is actually an evolution of 'chair'; as in a division located behind the organ stool also known as a 'ruck-positiv' (ruck meaning 'back' in German). Obviously in modern times this evolution has gone full circle hence the choice of tones for accompanying a choir. Excellent video, thoroughly enjoyed it- would like to see the long version!
4:57-5:14 Are those loudspeakers I saw? That's cheating :-D

What are the various loudspeakers for behind the organ, is it a hybrid?

@goodchappy Not really, it does have a few digital voices though in the pedal: 32' Bourdon, Open Diapason 16', and Posaune 32'
