Serà la primera parte de la Batalla Imperial de % tono de Juan Cabanillas?

It's a beautiful sounding organ and it's a shame that they play it only once a year. You'd think that they'd give concerts on it every now and then or at least play it during regular services.

Beautiful video. Beautiful sounding organ with those vibrant reeds. Juan Cabanilles was indeed the the Spanish Bach. A true master of Baroque music, and the photos of those lovely Spanish organs are to die for, as is the El Greco towards the end.

My question is how often is the Emperor's organ played these days? Do they still have like concerts on the instrument?
-
I recently found out that this is actually a Toccata by Cabinilles and not a Batalla. I cannot be perfectly sure, however.

Those reeds are powerful and full of life.
To my knowledge the Emperor's Organ is only played once a year, during the Feast of Corpus Christi in June when the procession re-enters the cathdral at the start of the liturgy. Usually an improvisation. From what I gather it's largely silent during the rest of the year. Very sad.

@steppin The cathedral organ, playing the cello at the entrance of the Blessed Sacrament and other major celebrations, such as a sort of priest.
