Today we introduce the spectacular 4 manual 73 stop Rieger organ in Marienstatt Abbey in Germany.
Back in February 2019 we visited this amazing instrument for the first time. The original video was in German only and we still only had our old recording equipment.
Armed with our new microphones, interface and laptop, we returned to Marienstatt Abbey to visit Frater Gregor, the organ's custodian, and re-record the 4/73 Rieger organ as part of a series of films documenting the upcoming enlargement work to the organ.
It's a long video, but well worth the watch - it's a truly spectacular instrument!

I imagine that it must take months of regular daily performance to get familiarized with such instruments.

I think it's rather noticeable when your eyes enlarge with the Untersatz 32' turned on!

Just now coming across this - While I often mention Blackburn Cathedral being my favorite organ, this has taken its place, surprisingly with the softest stops in the divine (literally) auxiliary division - I am astonished how beautiful this Rieger Organ is! Thank you!

I see you list the pipes in feet, in a metric country, is this a tradition?.

One of my fav 32' reeds in the business! So full of fundamental and power, yet not "buzzy." Maybe it's the placement in the space, giving the pipes "room" to bounce around, cutting off the edge. Whatever it is, I love it!

Am loving your videos, Fraser. Can you tell me what the pistons on the lip of the music stand are for?

Not one image in the video of the pipes and church interior. 😔

4 manuals, 73 ranks. The number of stops looks like it may be more than 73.

I can only imagine a Cardinal drapped in his glorious cappa magna entering the church accompanied by the glorious sound of this organ then proceding to the throne for the pontifical high mass. what a picture, all created by the voice of these pipes

Thank you for this wonderful, inspiring and friendly tour. And thank you also for allowing us to hear all of the reverb - I wish everyone who posted videos in large acoustics took similar care. Every single stop sounds beautiful! But for me (lapsed organist returning to it) it’s a lovely exploration of registration too. And I smiled at the sounds and the wonderful chef-related descriptions (salt and pepper) of the effect of adding stops. Totally joyous, all of it!
