@Ntalikeris666 Is Anton Pauw still officially the church organist, or has his status changed to that of civic or recital organist, along with Jos van der Kooy? Prior to Jos van der Kooy's appointment, there were two civic organists, Piet Kee and Albert de Klerk, until de Klerk's death, then Piet Kee alone. St Bavo, the building, is owned by the church, but the organ is owned and maintained by the State. This is why there is the unique situation of 2 separate appointments of organist.
@NorbertZF I wonder that too! Go to the NCRV web site and listen to the marvellous improvisations that won Piet Kee the Silver Tulip in the early 1950s. This was proper music! Interesting also, to contrast the sound of the great Muller organ as it was then, with how it sounds now, after the 1960 changes made by Marcussen.
But don't give in to the modern trend just to be counted among the "in" set! There are probably folk who outwardly claim to like the "in" stuff, but inwardly despise it!
Why does anyone need an 18th or 17th Century instrument merely to play so much "bleep blop" noise? I applied several times and sent tapes of my improvisations which are more in the tradition of the North German School: i.e toccatas, fugues and chorale variations. Guess it's considered too passe' or derivative ti improvise actual music and not just so much post modernist noise. I appear to have been born 400 years too late.
@peteacher52 I am not aware if Pawl is still the organist there, but back in 2009 he was.

If you haven't heard of it before, check out Vox Seculorum site. Modern people composing in the baroque style.
You'll be surprised by what you hear!

Kijk, zo promoot je je orgel beter dat Bert Matter met Zutphen deed in Klokhuis...
't Is een prachtig orgel, zeer imposant en fraai front, zeker. Maar inderdaad lang niet Neêrlands mooiste...
