Near my village there are a little church with ancient organ:

What a beautiful little church, and I loved the tone of the organ. The translation from Google was not exact, but close enough to help my poor Italian

For an organ this size, tonally, it has a good variety. I have many CDs of Italian organs and I wonder if a CD was done on this one.

Ciao Andrea,


Thanks for the link. Beautiful organ and I think short octave is strange for a 1770's organ. Very good pictures of it and Church interior.


Alessandro played extremelly well Galuppi's sonata. The organ's sound is delightful. I would like to get samples of it so I could do a VPO set with jOrgan !

I thank all who have enjoyed this post
I would like to add 2 links in which Alessandro plays my 2 pieces for organ, in a church close to where the organ is
an anonymous builder of 19th century.

Andrea,

Grazie !

I liked the sonata very much. 1st mov, yes, close to Haydn style. The superb Adagio in the beggining reminded me Vivaldi but some bars later came close to Mozart/Haydn era. Triumphant 3rd mov with the trompetta takin' over. Ingeniously composed variations and progressions in all movements.
I downloaded the video for my archive. Please accept my humble congratulations.

In SanAndrea the organ sounds fantastic ! Has other reed stops apart this super trumpet?
Though I came to Italy many many times in the past, I never been in Iseo... Now I have a good motivation !

Thanks for your compliments they flatter me,
in this organ the trumpet is the only register reed stops.
Iseo is especially good for the lake scene, in July there is a major jazz festival of this area, and sometimes there are concerts of organ.
Iseo is close to the mountain and the hill

Very enjoyable pieces.. I too like the sonata..the adagio is really nicely flowing with expressive feeling; Presto would take alittle work...LOL sounds Mozarty( new word )

L'Italia ha molti tesori d'organo! Grazie per la musica fornita.

[andreavezzoli]

di nulla! in effetti ci sono molti organi italiani in piccole chiese nascoste a volte dimenticati.
Per esempio qui nel mio comune c'è un organo Cadei del 1600' nella piccola chiesa di Sant'Eufemia
