Nice organ and a great room as well!

Tempo seems exactly right to me--grand and stately. Thanks for the upload.

The romantic organs weren't available to Mendelssohn. He played on classical and baroque organs. That also explain's his directions regarding dynamics (no expression, except for an early childhood piece).

A wonderful organ, even though i see it is made for Baroque pieces, the sonata sounded wonderful.
Well Done

Great vid! I'm currently working on this marvellous sonata, and I hope organists all over the world will make an effort in celebrating the 200 years anniversary of the great composer Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy.

Ah, nothing quite like fonds de 8! I can't wait to see it. Also, in your demonstration video, the camera took a look at the ratchets, and there was one that said "ON". Might this be the elusive Tremulant ratchet? I'd really like to hear the Vox with the tremulant.
A very fine choice of tempo; it is only marginally slower than the recording done with Peter Hurford performing in the Ratzeburg Cathedral, Germany. Thanks for the post. It reminded me of what a grand piece this is when played so well as this..
