Nice link Corno Dolce.A breath taking Minster that is! Big reverb yes, it does exactly this, to help stick the escence of organ music deep in our harts.
As for our minds.... our minds often play us nasty tricks, be aware....

Beautiful ... oh, to be able to play in such a wonderful place.
Love all of Reger's organ works.

Hi GM Krummhorn,
Indeedy, what an environment and privilege to play in. Have you heard Reger's piano concerto? It too thrills ones senses. Right now I'm fantasising about how a recording of Reger's big organ pieces played at St. Sulpice would sound like...
Cheers,

*Socrates: "My opinion is: Truth is absolute, not opinion, and that you are in absolute error. Since this is my opinion, then according to your philosophy you must grant that it is true."

One of my favorite pieces by Reger, and one that I can actually playis titled Benedictus - starts out very quietly then builds to tutti and reduces to pppp at the end.

Lars - not wishing to deflect from Reger, but I listen (often) to the wonderful "Come Sweet Death" played on the Wanamaker wonder ... just so I can hear the crescendo and decrescendo accomplished by stop pulling alone (not with the swell).
Hi David,
I have a LP recording of Fox playing that piece on the Wanamaker ... I've played it a few times in years past for a Good Friday services at my church.

Hi CT64,
Oh yes indeedy, the *Grand Crescendo/Decrescendo Choral* - A faint memory have I that Peter Conte *controls the drama* by a singularly furious piston-pushing. Nevertheless, the effect dazzles the mind.
Cheers,

Well indeed, one can pull this off if you have squillions of stops to choose from or at the very lest a good collection of stops in all dynamic ranges from whisper to thunder.
