[jp7rambo]

I want to put one in my room, idk if i have enough room though :(

[Thedoctorsbiggestfan]

erm which organ is she playing because at 0:32 you can see the console to the massive pipe organ

[derCarilloneur]

@Thedoctorsbiggestfan No, the console on wich she is playing is the "general console" to all 233 stops of all 5 Organs. The console which you can see behind in the large organ is a mechanical one, you can there only play 77 stops of the large organ, not more!

[BloodMoonTsuki23]

wat a beautiful pipe organ!!!!!:D and the music is wonderful

[Panamfreak]

do anyone know the name of this wonderful piece of music? please!!!

[aimmaster18]

Ich bin schon mal im Passauer Dom gewesen... ES WAR EINFACH FANTASTISCH LEUTE ! ;)

[19shea85]

I agree, this video makes this organ sound as if it were electronic.

[lilylessons]

I love it!!

Anyone want too learn Japanese or Chinese?

[SuperStgB]

What´s the name of this piece?

Please tell me.

[radketim]

@cody1800212 Take no offense, Yes, its real, they wouldn't spend that much time faking one and it sounds too good.

[BlackEngel94]

OMFG! o.O

[ukieflip]

No she was playing a toy one.

[danielix11]

That's the real organ : )

[Dianne724]

Omg! that's a huge pipe organ! XD

[varalja2]

Ez nagyszerű!!! Köncse Kriszta orgonál!!

[poopingeneral]

What is the loudest pipe organ in the world, also what is louder a set of concert speakers or a huge massive organ?

looking for opinions, I'm doing a survey!!!!!

[Ntalikeris666]

Well, saying "the Loudest" is kinda general. For example, you mean a particular stop, or, the result of many (or all) stops together?

The loudest stop is considered to be the Grand Ophicleide in the Boardwalk Hall Organ, Atlantic City, New Jersey. Since this is the biggest organ in the world (33000 ~ pipes),

i would say its also the loudest, if you put all the stops together. But what also matters is the room in which the organ is placed the acoustics, how far you are from it and ETC

[radketim]

Spanish organs are pretty loud, also romantic period french organs. Organs are limited by the space in which their sound waves develop and wind power but they do get over 120 dB. Concert speakers are unlimited but organs never distort.

[speaks3703]

The loudest single stop in the world is usually considered to be the Grand Ophicleide at the Atlantic City Convention Hall. It's on 100" of wind pressure. However, the State Trumpet at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine has a claim to make as well. It is designed to be a louder than your standard Ophicleide, though the one in Atlantic City is far from standard. The State Trumpet stop is on 50" of wind pressure. Keep in mind that the sound of a stop at 8' pitch is more perceptible than 16'

[Mast3rChris]

i know you've probably had this question asked many a time, but I'm just curious.

[vivaldi20091]

Amazing!!!What Composer this piece?

[miati5]

How many voices these organs have?

[Ntalikeris666]

It has 5 manuals, 327 ranks, 17,774 pipes and 233 stops (registers)

[Seppo07]

Hey, everybody out there!

I was wondering (as were many, as I read..^^) what piece this could be.

I think it is an Allemande or Intrada either by Pierre Phalèse or Melchior Franck. But I couldn't figure out what piece it is exactly...

Notice Mrs Frtuh's first CD, that came out few weeks ago.

[passacaglia28]

Nice one. To bad it is only a segment of the actual piece. The Passau Cathedral organ: what a beast!

[1401JSC]

Renaissance piece.

Baroque Church.

Romantic Organ.

I'm confused  ;p

[Lureboy]

Ah! The queen amongst instruments! Can you ever get tired of the sound?

[macrosun]

Received many requests for the name of this piece of music, and I am sorry that myself also didn't keep the name of this piece,

@lozzioAndunello@ replied:

The organist playing here is Mag. Brigitte Fruth, assistant organist of Passau Cathedral.

[radketim]

@macrosun If it helps, I believe the theme is of a renaissance dance, such as a galliard or allemand

[Contrafidelis]

I was not impressed with the great organ at Passau. Compared to the the great

French organs, the tonal quality seems to be lacking.

Still, the organ at Passau amazes me.

[cornophile91]

Interesting point, and I see where you are coming from. The recordings of La Madeleine, St. Sulpice, and Notre Dame feel more stately than most organs in the rest of the world. Of course I am forgetting the rest of these French Organs, but my point is made. The organs of Paris must be more refined, but for music of the rest of the world, the more blasting tone is okay I think.

[Contrafidelis]

Ah ... How true. I must confess that I'm

partial to the French 'screaming reeds'

from the romantic period. The German

organs do not seem to have the full,

and rich sound as many of the French

organs.

Exception - Have you heard the recently

dedicated organ in the Frauenkirche ?

In a word - Wonderful !!

[cornophile91]

You must be speaking of the reeds that Olivier Latry uses toward the end of Widor's Tocatta to show the shift into the finale of the movement, right?

I can totally understand where you are coming from, but as a horn player that loves blasting myself, I think the harsh reeds really put a color there that some people would be afraid to use, and I very much like it. Such reeds are also awesome on the first movement of Widor's 6th.

[Contrafidelis]

Not sure if I've heard Latry play the Widor

Tocatta. I'll go on a search and locate it.

Acoustics play a huge part , wouldn't

you agree ?

BTW, good chatting with you.

[cornophile91]

Olivier Latry is amazing, one of the three organists at Notre Dame. Some people say that the organ there is too high up, I think that just makes the architectural achievements of the 13th century that much cooler, and the main point is that the acoustics are still cool I think. The reverb is amazing on all the recordings I have. That is the best part.

[Ntalikeris666]

Well, original old French pipe organs, tend to have reeds as the main power of richness, and not their mixtures. French mixtures once were not powerfull, so thats why french organs are famous for their reeds. German organs on the other hand (lets say Silberman for example) have mixtures as their great sourse of "power".

[Ntalikeris666]

Which piece is she playing?

[heartsalots]

that organ and cathedral is beautiful, i dont have the words

[C0490M]

Hi Everyone!

Does anybody know the name of the song that the organist is playing here?

[peencre12]

Who is the music?

[schneckenturm]

I am coming nearer >>

seems to be the german composer

Melchior Franck ( about 1600 -1630 )

[marsvltor2]

For a 'big 'un' this organ sound fabulous on the early stuff. I'm impressed (first time I've heard it playing music of this era)...

[peencre12]

WHO IS THE MUSIC?????? VERY NICE

[wotare]

I bought an organ just like that at Costco, but I had to return it because it wouldn't fit in my hatchback.

[pipeorganloverNJP]

huge and beautiful- the organ. :)

[tequilaboy12345]

Damn, the last chord is missing :(

[macrosun]

Thank you very for your infomation,and many thanks to Mrs. Mag. Brigitte Fruth for her great performance.

[roundsm18]

@macrosun I don't believe she is married.

[macrosun]

Hey guys, thank you for your interest of this video clip. Happy to add some more infomation about the Organ of this church:

5 manuals, 327 ranks, 17,774 pipes

233 registers, 233 stops

Steinmeyer, 1928; Eisenbarth, 1978-1981

Largest pipe organ outside the United States of America

The Passau Cathedral Organ was for many years the world's largest church organ, but it has now been superceded by First Congregational in Los Angeles.

[snoodify]

@macrosun But it definitely wins when it comes to sound and look ;) IMHO

[Avelyn81]

I've heard that in that cathedral the organ is really really loud, that is probably why the recording sounds bad.

[DRJFK1986]

Why does this organ sound so horrible?

[theblackhand2]

Youtube has crap for audio. Never judge an organ from hearing it on youtube. Ether listen to it in person or at least a high quality recording played on a high end audio system before critiquing the sound of an organ.

[macrosun]

well, it's because my poor digital camera and youtube, but the lady in the video played great music, and everyone in presence were touched.

[radketim]

@macrosun Organs are also made to be heard out in the church and less so at the console. the Passau organ actually surrounds the church but essentially, the mic was to close. The sound that an organ has is made very specifically to it's space. I that helps.

[starbreez3]

@DRJFK1986 Horrible? Well, that's horrible for YOUR taste.

[bastiorgel]

Who plays there?

[Buzzchillington]

I would die there.lol

[AllenJBlodgettJrmota]

Did I see another organ console immediatly under the organ

[Menrathorgan]

From that console you are able to play an experpt of i think about 70 register from the "Hauptwerk" mechanically.

[Menrathorgan]

from the "Hauptorgan" of course :)

[AllenJBlodgettJrmota]

Thank you!

[nashvilledisco]

Very lovely! Where is this filmed?

[macrosun]

filmed in Passau, a lovely city in Germangy

[Iktorn0703]

Ain't something of , whereas this composition is not something else item

[Iktorn0703]

I'm not good speak english

[Iktorn0703]

tabulature oliwe; anonim - suite of dancing

tabulatura oliwska; anonim - suita tańćów

[etbuk]

Has you the partiture?

[massimofortissimo]

Question: what's the title of this awesome piece?

[handelfan610]

its written earlier as a reply from someone as Toller's "sound und super organistum" i've been trying to find the music but i can't.

[handelfan610]

sorry...organistin.

[massimofortissimo]

Question:

[ptecturalcgn]

it is the largest organ in a chruch - not the largest organ

[AllenJBlodgettJrmota]

The fifth largest organ

[gospelkeyboard07]

now what do all those drawbars do!lol

[GrandCorps]

Absolutely, it is not baroque piece. It sounds like typical renaissance organ work (some kind of dance). I don't know what is the exact tittle/author, it could be from XVI- early XVII century organ tablature as well.

[handelfan610]

yeah...what was i thinking this is most definently an renaissance work. i just want to find the music...its tollers sound und super organista i think that is what it is called.

[schneckenturm]

Did you find the music` It is renaissance ! And it sounds like a tabulatura for lute or guitar, but at that time they were playing also on keyboard instruments. Maybe italian or spanish ? Please let me know!

Thank you

Uli M.

[wurlitzer3]

everything is in the word added or missing. I have a recording of this instrument. It was once the largest CHURCH organ in the world. That word CHURCH was left out. It may well be the fifth largest.

[poopingeneral]

would it be much to ask what pipe organ this is?? :]

thank you for the great post!

[joeyboi87]

the comment about this organ being the 5th largest in the world is not true, the fifth largest instrument is the albert hall organ in london

[tjugofyra]

The albert hall organ is the 38 biggest organ in the world. The second biggest in GB after the organ in Liverpool cathedral. The albert hall organ has 177 ranks and 129 register. This organ has 326 ranks and 229 register witch makes this organ, the 5th largest organ in the world. The Steinmeyer has 7977 more pipes than the Willis, Harrison & Harrison, Mander organ in Albert hall:p

[joeyboi87]

er oh right well thanks for your information yet again

[diysgog]

Quite so. St Stephen's Passau is the largest eclesiastical (Church/Cathedral) organ in the world (if we ignore rules about consecration by bishops & the existence of the First Congregational in LA) and is certainly the largest organ outside the USA. It's a bit of a brute though and the building acoustics don't exactly help. Very good to see the video and hear the organ 'turned down a notch'. A great instrument to hear at full pelt, but it's hard to get it to actually sound 'nice'. Well done.

[handelfan610]

what song is this... and is it from the baroque era.. sounds like it. who is the composer?

[schneckenturm]

it is renaissance or early baroque I think.

Uli M.

[lucisangels]

Thank you for the performance.

Who is the player? My soul are eased.

[Maikschoene67]

toller Sound und Super Organistin

[handelfan610]

where can i find the music for this? who is the arranger?

[handelfan610]

do you know where i could possibly find the music for this piece...because i'm starting to rip my hair out it's driving me mad. is it one of those songs that is out of print?

[krhall78]

What this the music, Who is composer ??

[sulpice8]

I visited Germany this summer and heard this organist play this piece. This was truly the highlight of my trip. Superb playing, sound and acoustics. Thank you for posting this so I can hear it again. ( Your Langlais was superb also !)

[Mast3rChris]

I know that this was over a year or more ago, but do you remember what the name of the piece was? the composer perhaps?

[MarcinBrys]

I'm not the author of this video(macrosun), but this piece reminds me of some renaissance dance, but which exactly and who is the composer - I simply don't know!

[flavian18]

nice organ....I like this organ

[travis404]

wow i cant spell lol

[travis404]

i agree i belivbe that this particualr organist should be aknowledged. is only the polite thing to do.

[afordjones]

I always wonder if these clips are posted with the players knowledge or permission. Not to have even an acknowledgment or attribution seems really inappropriate.

[dismith]

What's the issue?
