Mozart, Sonata in C Major www.thejoyofmusic.org

Organist Diane Bish is joined by guest artists at St Bavo Church in Haarlem, Holland.

An excerpt from "The Glory of the Organ" a CD of Diane playing this organ available on her website:
"The church itself stands in the Grote Market of Haarlem and is a building of superlative acoustics, a sound die-away of about eight seconds. The organ, built by Christian Muller of Amsterdam, was begun in 1735 and took three years to complete. Its appearance is spectacular, the casework embroidered with intricate carvings and shining gold leaf. The case is 90 feet high and 50 feet broad. The playing action is, as originally, by direct trackers, and stop control is by hand. People have come from around the world to see and play this organ with its amazing appearance, its smooth, rich sonorities. Even Mozart made a special trip to play the instrument, one of the finest in Europe."

Ha! They don't even have services in this church anymore. This is your enlightened Protestant Reformation at work!

[MeinnameistDreck]

Funny how those are ALL women playing....Diane is said to be a follower of Sapho....

[Streetcar1743]

Mozart is so grand, write Y98 in St. Louis and beg them to play classical music. This would be a grand song to play on that station.

@Gspijkenisse It used to be a Catholic Cathedral, now it is a Protestant church.

Kathedraal met een karel...

Aangeduid zonder theodoor...

middeleeuwen zonder hoofdletter.

Heeft u überhaupt op school gezeten?

Een kathedraal is een bisschopskerk, dat weet een ieder. Uw beredenering is zeer ongegrond, en klopt voor geen zier.

Rijd naar Haarlem, ga voor de Grote Kerk staan en vraag waar de Kathedraal van Sint Bavo is. Men zal niet wijzen naar deze grote kerk. Hoe pauper om het tegenovergestelde van feiten te geloven, maar verlaag u niet en spreek geleerden niet tegen.

whuahaha

zoek het maar op!

[Gspijkenisse]

Hoe? Wie is de bisschop, waar is het bisdom?

Ze is al bijna 500 jaar geen kathedraal meer...

De kathedrale basiliek van Sint Bavo staat elders in Haarlem.

Eerste verdiepen en onderzoeken eer iets te roepen. ^^

[Gspijkenisse]

that is not a cathedral. :) That is a protestant church.
