• Welcome to the Pipe Organ Forum! This is a part of the open community Magle International Music Forums focused on pipe organs (also known as "church organs"), organists, organ music and related topics.

    This forum is intended to be a friendly place where technically advanced organists and beginners (or even non-organists) can feel comfortable having discussions and asking questions. We learn by reading and asking questions, and it is hoped that the beginners (or non-organists) will feel free to ask even the simplest questions, and that the more advanced organists will patiently answer these questions. On the other hand, we encourage complex, technical discussions of technique, music, organ-building, etc. The opinions and observations of a diverse group of people from around the world should prove to be interesting and stimulating to all of us.

    As pipe organ discussions can sometimes become lively, it should be pointed out that this is an open forum. Statements made here are the opinion of the poster, and not necessarily that of the forum itself, its administrator, or its moderators.

    In order to post a new topic - or reply to existing ones - you may join and become a member by clicking on Register New User. It's completely free and only requires a working email address (in order to confirm your registration - it will never be given away!). We strive to make this a friendly and informative forum for anyone interested in pipe organs and organ music.

Hi. One of those really vexing aspects of purchasing music from the iTunes store is that they don't ever state what instrument is being played if you purchase organ music. At east this has been my experience.

I just purchased the three sonatas of Paul Hindemith, can someone tell me where they're played? Organist: Peter Hurford.

thanks - Contratrombone64

Hi CT64,

The organ used is the Rieger/Glatter-Götz in Ratzeburg Cathedral - 4 manuals/pedal with 60 stops controlling 90 ranks. The Pedal has, among other things, a 32' Prinzipal and a 32' Kontrafagott.

Cheers,

Corno Dolce

I knew if I put it out there that my prayer would be answered. Thanks sweet corn, well done. I've now listened to the three lovely sonatas three times over. Wonderful music.
