I've had the opportunity of playing this instrument once - and it truly is extraordinary in every possible way.

Always love hearing demonstrations of Richards and Fowkes instruments. The voicing is always clear and articulate yet warm at the same time. This organ is certainly no exception. Great video!

I got to play on this organ when I studied at UNT! It was a great experience and the cathedral there is so serene and beautiful. I was actually thinking about it just recently and then I saw this video!

What an absolutely fabulous organ! The choruses in particular just shimmer. It's so refreshing to see the great lessons of Silbermann & Schnitger shaped and molded to create versatile, modern organs and this is no exception. Great demonstration, Joel!

The Great Cornet is really there to reinforce the Trompette, as you have demonstrated. The Sesquialtera makes a great solo voice and can add a little South German color to the plenum. The Swell Cornet is more like an Echo Cornet for early French music. The organ I play has similar arrangement. I use the Sesquialtera combination to solo out hymn melodies. This is a very colorful instrument. You are fortunate! Best wishes.

A possible inspiration for the SW Koppelflöte might be the Stellwagen Spillflöte from the small Jakobi organ in Lübeck. Same round and full character.

Wow! Can’t believe you’re here in Dallas! Have you visited the CB Fisk Opus 100 at the Meyerson Symphony Center?

I'm surprised how loud the key action is on a modern tracker.

I hear the strong 18th Century Northern European accent. I'm curious how this organ handles Howells.

I can't imagine what that spectacular instrument cost! And how long will it be before someone screws an electrical box onto that lovely case 😣😣

never very uplifting.

@ThatcherNelson 8 ай бұрын

It already has electric combination action

Fine instrument, but it's impossible to ignore the clash between the aesthetics of the room and the aesthetics of the organ case. Looks like the parties involved weren't able to find a middle ground when it came to the visual design of this organ.

Well it’s definitely the shining jewel in a brutalist crown!

Well I mean I'm not a fan of brutalism, but I'm enjoying the visual contrast here.

@jokemmerling4875 8 ай бұрын

I agree with you, this looks simply ridiculous. A fake 18th century case in a fine modern church. It is a modern instrument in a modern environment so why o why these looks. Was it a bargain or something?
