good performance. I like the addition of the mechanical noises of changing stops. It really adds to the authenticity. This kind of attention to detail is missing in mass produced digitals like Rodgers or Allen.

looks as if bach's ghost is playing

@birdwing98 You mean the 30 seconds of silence before the music starts? Can't tell if your comment was sarcastic or not.

wow, well how is it virtual ? Is it a vst instrument? If so what is it? Awesome!

[birdwing98]

The first thirty seconds of this recording are truly riveting.

The organ sounds as if the organist is only using toes - hahaha

OK - by the way: in Germany we play with toes (primarily) AND with heels, as otherwise you could not produce a legato with one foot - if neccessary.

This organ is great. I played on it a few weeks ago! And I am amazed how this sampleset mirrors the original instrument both in sound and optic!

They put the low C# in this recording one way or the other (even though it's not attritibuted to a pressed note on the pedal) you can hear it at 5:32 and 5:38. They probably transposed the sample from another pipe to get it...

This is a fascinating video to watch. The Silbermann organ sounds, including the operation of the mechanism of the organ, sounds quite authentic. Certainly this instrument is quite capable of interpreting the Bach Fantasia in Gm with nearly the aural sensation of a live concert. YouTube has several genuine Silbermann videos for comparison. Thanks, MilanDigitalAudio! I gotta have Hauptwerk! It should sound awesome with my twenty-four speakers sound system!
