• 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.

We strive to make this a friendly and informative forum for anyone interested in pipe organs and organ music.

Arp Schnitzer-organ in Uithuizen (NL)

Thanks for posting!
Liked it a lot. :)

Here's a clip of the same instrument, with Menno van Delft playing Böhm's Vater unser im Himmelreich.

The instrument was constructed by Arp Schnitger, and built (1699-1701) by two of his employees: Rudolf Garrels and Johannes Radeker. (Garrels also built the famous organ in Maassluis.)
After the last restoration (Bernhard Edskes, 2001) the organ in Uithuizen exists of Hoofdwerk, Rugwerk & Pedal; 28 stops, 21 of them are original Schnitgers.

Thanks for the link Bill. The fellow organist seems to live every note he played and of course there is the unique sound of Schnitger...
I also wached all the Passacaglia videos.Hmmm, I think nobody ever reached the perfection of the performance Peter Hurford gave in 1983 recording in Our Lady if Sorrows Church in Canada. He did a tremendous acceleration of feelings from start to end with no rush at all, so all beautiful accidentals written by Bux can be deeply understood.
What you think?
greetings from your friend Panos
