Pastor de Lasala plays the historic 1890 Hill & Son organ in Ss Peter & Paul's (Old) Catholic Cathedral, NSW, Australia. This organ was opened by WT Best in 1890 not long after he opened the world famous Sydney Town Hall organ.

  • Thank you. This Hill organ is one of the most magnificent of its kind in Australia. It also speaks into a marvellous acoustic from its high gallery in the northern transept.

  • Hey. The first musical composition played. I was looking for the score. Couldn't find it. Cd you please help me. I might come to Goulburn someday. I often pass in the Sydney/Melbourne train but, unhappily yet, I have not got out.

  • The Calvière piece can be bought through foliomusic. Just google it.

  • Thank you. The acoustics in the building are quite incredible. Which Hill organ do you actually play? Is it in original/restored condition?

  • Which music are you playing in this video?

  • The titles are at the end of the video. The first piece is attributed to Calviere an 18th century organist of Notre-Dame de Paris. The second work is Boely's Fantaisie & Fugue in Bb Major/Minor. The tracks were taken from the Goulburn's Grand Hill Organ, the CD I recorded in 1996. It is available in the OHS catalogue.

  • when i die ill be pasiing thorugh these halls just like my family has always done

  • Beautiful playing and sound, Pastor. I myself played on this organ quite some years ago. It was an incredible experience!

  • Yes. Well-balanced.

  • The organ I play is not a Hill. It's a 103 old organ by a firm from Stoke-on-trent in england called Steele & Keay. The only hill I have played is the one in the Birmingham Town hall recenty rebuilt by the london firm .of Noel Mander.

  • Fine organ must come and play this if I ever get to Australia. Iam a organist in a Catholic Church in the Uk and play in a church similar to St Peters. What a glorious sound this hill makes and the organ playing is very fine indeed well done.
