St Laurenskerk…. Been there MANY times, visiting grandmum and other relatives in Rotterdam. You see, my parents immigrated to USA from Rotterdam, Netherlands in 1956. They lived through the terribleness of the bombing of their city during the occupation by Nazis while in childhood/early teen years. Always nice to hear the organ in a 1400s church nearly DECIMATED by the bombing raid of 14 May 1940. A bit of history: the church ORIGINALLY was a Catholic church (1400(?)- ) with all the icons and altars. The Dutch Reformation during the 16th century (Calvin, 1572) saw St. Laurens become a Dutch Reformed church. A LOT OF HISTORY IN THAT CHURCH. Look it up online. (I still have print books from long ago.) To hear Richard play it here on this KZbin video brings back many memories of my visits to the city of my ancestry. Thanks, Richard. PS: there are THREE organs in that church! I believe he played the “hoofdorgel” (Great [or head] Organ)….

To me the P&F in c is how I imagine the sound of God. Beautifully done! (Although I prefer a smaller, humbler registration: eg Varnus on Silbermann organ - only 29 ranks I think).

[@markdietrich7604]

Don't get me wrong - I love the size and space if this!

[@peterallison5021]

Ever thought of making a recording of it, and other pieces? Get a sponsor. I did that, sponsored an SACD recording of my favourite, Whitlock Sonata at Rochdale town hall a few weeks ago

[@fpvmusicsounds7650]
