Whoa! Love the decrescendo at the end, sounding like thunder echoing off into the distance.

[robiisan]

very nice. i was in de berliner dom like a few weeks ago, and they were also testing the organ. But this song i like to hear live for sure

00:20!!!! Fantastic!

Nothing wrong at all !!! It IS meant to be played like that. This is a grand jeu by Michel Corrette, french organist of the end of the 18th century. Grand Jeu avec l'Orage, with the thunder, where you push on all the bass pedal notes at the same time, making (in this case) a terrible thunder noise.

[Ormufa]

You're right.

Coincidence, I found it today.

There might be something wrong with the organ itself... This deep sound on the last chord (and following even after the piece has ended) and in other parts of this piece - I'm quite sure that this is not meant to be there... ;-)

i think that the organist of our church had played it. because he is playing the orgen in the berliner dom too. and i'm very sure that i heart this song played by him at our church in marienfelde. i thin he uses the first 5 to 7 notes for this thunder. (?)

[Ormufa]

It was played by Peter-Michael Seifried.

PMS is the organist of our church :-) Dorfkirche Marienfelde. I listened him during he practised.
