  • Tuning: Upon the restoration in 1993, a tuning system was chosen which stays close to the historic original, but still allows for a broad band of music to be played.

    re this organ

    It is a modified-moderate tuning of the type 1/5 syntonic comma. This system offers a relative purity of thirds in the basic keys. In the peripheral keys F-sharp major and C sharp major, some hard contrasts have to be put up with.

  • @jpstenino Thank you very much for giving us professional information about this organ. Greetings

  • @thebloads Bach's passacaglia in C minor is way superior than Buxtehude's or Handel's passacaglia in G minor.

  • Don't you find any similarityes when you're listening not even J. S. Bach, but Handel, Vivaldi too?

  • In many ways this seems to be a model for Bach's own passacaglia.

  • Being fanatic of BWV 582 I feel BuxWV 161 as extremely rich and fresh. Why - this is a question... Who of them has given soul to the thing?

  • Wonderful...

  • Almost all the works of Johann Sebastian Bach can be rendered on the Arp-Schnitger-organ.
