If I hadn't been spoiled by the many performances of Ton Koopman at the old ALRA sites, I perhaps would enjoy this playing a bit more. That said: what I really do enjoy here is the instrument. The instrument sounds like it was built with this music in mind- for I can't say that I ever hear an organ that have light so perfect for these particular phrases. Thank you.
Wow! J van Oortmerssen plays to the ringing acoustics of this cavernous building particularly well. It's good that the recording engineer hasn't muffled the natural reverberation. This gives us a better idea of what we might hear if we were lucky enough to be there in person. Greetings from New Zealand.
Actually, a large portion of the pipes date back to the organ's beginning in1676. Pipes were later added in 1743, 1899(?) and then late 20th century. Arp Schnitger's people worked on it at some point I believe.

Dit neigt verder dan perfectie.
