  • Donde esta este órgano?

  • @Vicente6426 Haarlem, Holland

  • Mrs. Weir does admirable justice to this work. Anyone know the hall/organ or the recording details...?

  • I have never heard this work played with such splendour,such an innate understanding of the awesome grandeur of the baroque period,Gillian Weir is incredibly graceful and a true effortless virtuoso of the instument.I cried when I heard this.

  • Wonderful! I love the organs I am an organbuilder. But I can!t filled up with them.

  • What a brilliant woman. If i could just shake her hand once in my life.

  • @organwizard

    Thanks organwizard! Very few get this work 'right'. Tempo is either too fast, or the organ doesn't have the sound, or the cathedral doesn't reverb quite right, etc. You know what I'm talking about. This is rare one - I'm keeping it. Thanks again -

  • amazing wonderful!

  • Il faut le dire :elle joue tres bien et pour une fois ce n'est pas joué sur un “monstre“ américain ni n‘importe comment bravo donc
