Hello!
I'm Dutch (if that's worth mentioning ) and I'm new to this forum, as you might have guessed.
Even though I already liked the sound of the pipe organ when I was a child, this instrument has been some kind of my changeling. Dunno why, really (or maybe I do and don't want to talk about it ).
But, when one's in love with the music of J.S. Bach, eventually one will also come to .... the pipe organ.
Heard Gustav Leonhardt play 2 years ago on this instrument:
........
Have a guess!
After that fine experience, I found myself interested in both organ and harpsichord (another 'Leonhardt' instrument) in an increasing manner.
During appr. the last year-and-a-half, I have been listening to recordings with these instruments more and more. The last 3/4 months the organ is almost my daily bread & butter. First I (re)turned to Hans Fagius (BIS/Brilliant) and after that to .... some others.
Hopefully I can learn a lot at this board. About the technical aspects of the organ I know almost nothing. So, there's a lot to read and discover. And also a lot to listen to. (If I only could find the time!!!)
And, who knows, I might be that self-opiniated to inform the board about my own taste and likings. :grin:
Till next time!
