Gwendolyn Toth plays Courante Daphne from the Leningrad Manuscript (1646) on the Faber organ of 1651 in Zeerijp, The Netherlands. July 2008. Video made by Dongsok Shin.
@homoignobilis This organ has wonderfully light, responsive action. The pedals are easy to play, and in fact have to be pressed gently to avoid any noise from the springs.
Just take a look at the videos of Dennis Wubs, these are very playable instruments. They do not have an automatic gearbox, air-conditioning, GPS and so on, of course you are lacking these,
Its fun playing on those wheezers. but they have dreadful action and the pedals are otfen so tough I'd have to stand on them. But, lets face it: Back then trackers were the absolute height of technology. Great job!
Is this the Gwendolyn Toth who worked briefly at Airbus Industrie in NYC? I'm your pal Timothy Wilson. SO PROUD TO HEAR YOUR EXQUISITE PLAYING!

Prachtig. En die nachtegaal maakt het tot 1 geheel, en de muziek past ook precies op dit orgel!

Very nice! Hope Gwendolyn Toth will record another cd in the Netherlands. Her Scheidemann - cd recorded in Zeerijp is also very good.
