Thou Art the Rock at Passau Cathedral, Germany

Organist Diane Bish plays one of the world's largest church organs at St. Stephan's Cathedral in Passau, Germany.

Wish the sound had more of a "surround" quality to it, but this is how the sound arrived with the video.

At 327 Ranks, and 17,774 pipes, this is the largest pipe organ outside the United States of America.

Vossiable you are a bitter fool. I bet you suck just as much at playing organ as your total lack of grammar in writing your imbecilic diatribes. I was privileged to have been in a performance with Ms. Bish at the organ. She is brilliant. You are an idiot.

[Vossiable]

This was a word from a human being who can't be have any sense for music...

@Vossiable how rude. A simple, "I didn't enjoy that as much as I thought I might have" would have been sufficient. Let's hear your rendering of this piece. I did enjoy the piece and love to compare the different approaches and the sounds of the different organs. Bravo Dear Diane! You are loved the world over.

[Vossiable]

My God! Could never stop this woman to do this ugly things? The instrument was build up for the honour of the heavenly father, not to make this awful noise from a middleclass-organist. This woman has no stylistic sense, no manner to make art and how to make a sensitive registration! Please ship with the MS Mozart into the black sea and never come back!

@quinn244 though why they need 5 organs is beyond me.
