Exploring the crazy organ of Chiesa di San Bartolomeo

[@John-hr5bj]

Yes, I like the "traveling" videos and the "behind the scenes" ending with a composition.

[@rossvandeventer]

Agreed.

[@maartenhelder5476]

Wir sind so sehr begeistert solch einen begabten jungen Organisten zu entdecken! Vielen lieben Dank! Und komme mal zu uns ins Elsass!

[@RoydenWilkinson]

Dear Paul, that was interesting to see you explore that beautiful instrument. That pedalboard certainly would cause you to have to keep your mind on it! It’s so much fun to listen to these beautiful organs that craftsmen many decades ago poured their hearts into designing and building them to fit these enormous structures. I so much love your candid, unpretentious presentation. I find you so relatable in all that you do! Your enthusiasm ignites a love for the organ. Thank you, my friend. Royden

[@PaulFey]

Thank you so much, Royden!! I‘m so glad to hear that you enjoyed the presentation - there are many more to come from this trip! 😀

[@RoydenWilkinson]

Looking forward to seeing more of your Italy trip, Paul!💕. You make me smile!!

[@ExAnimoPortugal]

That organ is really so.. Italian! I don't have a better word to describe it! I personally know here in Portugal a couple of modern Mascioni organs and I can see and listen to all the heritage back from this historical instrument

[@c-historia]

video fantastico, tanti complimenti!

[@chrisgunther6847]

Sehr schön anzuhören Paul Fey, Danke für den Ausflug. 👍🏻❤

Schöne Vorstellung dieser alten Orgel. Sehr interessant.

[@andresdopozo2839]

Thank you Paul for bringing us such amazing instruments!

[@PaulFey]

Thank you so much for watching!! 😀

[@yogiperogy]

First organ I’ve seen with sliding stop handles instead of the usual push-pull mechanism. Pedal board also unusual, requiring more attention. Congrats Paul on navigating the additional challenges!

[@Muksanim2012]

Another historic organ still producing beautiful sounds. Your travels and demonstrating various organs is very educational. As a young child my grandmother took me to church every Sunday. The pastor's wife was the organist on the electronic organ. I fell in love with the music it played. Now as an adult I have come to love the pipe organ which in most situations produces a clear melodious sound when the right person is at the console. Since I can't travel the world to experience these majestic instruments, I do appreciate people like Paul to bring these good experiences via videos. Thanks again Paul.

[@SeanNCraleigh]

A very interesting video today of this unique Italian organ, which is very different technically from most of the German organs that we have previously seen. It must have been somewhat of a challenge to adapt quickly, especially the pedalboard, and perform the Bach piece. With this organ, i think you must always have an assistant if you are making stop changes during the performance. You must be having a wonderful there in Italy. I enjoy your presentations like this one. Very informative. Thank you, Paul !

[@capitanoachab]

dear friend, these 19th century Italian instruments have numerous mechanical servo controls that allow you to vary the settings without any help. It certainly takes a little time to learn. Regards

[@stebrisc9526]

If you want to understand better a Lombardy XIX century organ I suggest to watch these two videos kzbin.info/www/bejne/kIS4eKqtjL58ja8feature=shared

[@peteturier3389]

Love the sound of that instrument. It's always great to see behind the scenes, more of that please!

[@aletheiaschmidt2253]

Wow! The video quality looks especially good on this video *chef's kiss*

[@sprachschlampe353]

Enjoying your Italian tour! Your demonstrations of the organs' tone palettes are wonderful!! I loved the rendition of "Jesu, Joy of Man's desiring" on this organ! Small request - Where possible, could you include the name of the organ's builder on this historic organ tours?

[@johnhenryholiday4964]

How interesting ... quite an impossible pedal clavier.... I smiled seeing you struggle a bit with it paul.... Keep up the amazing work for all of us... Doc.

[@PaulFey]

Haha, thank you for watching!! I made peace with the pedalboard shortly after - it is fun to play once you‘ve figured it out! 😀

Замечательная музыка. Великолепное исполнение. Спасибо за ваше искусство. Браво.

[@alfredonocera7024]

Paul, you should come and test the famous and majestic "Prestinari" organ in Lonate Pozzolo (near Milano Malpensa airport). Built in 1833, it has an outstanding Principale 32' and a refined set of stops. It is usually played by some of the greatest organists in Italy, who never cease praising the organ builder who conceived and put in place this wonderful instrument

[@jperez7893]

That church is the ultimate in Baroque style. It also has fine acoustics. The organ sounds mellow. (The Kami - spirits - of the organ seemed to be resisting Bach a bit. Perhaps wishing for a bit of a Vivaldi/Bach concerto)? From Chicago, U.S.A.

[@Jay-DeeK]

Maestro! Adapting so quickly to that pedalboard just shows what a brilliant organist you are ⭐

[@mspg2]

What a delightful tour of this old instument. It would be very hard to leave it. Jesus joy of man's desiring is so mellow on this instrument. Keep on exploring.

[@sohcahtoa8006]

This is an interesting organ and seems to have a noisy mechanical action than the tracker organs I have heard. I wonder if this noise is distracting, or, something you get used to. The stop canceling function was very interesting, and noisy too. Thank you for sharing.

[@powerlaser_yeg]

Wow!!! Your performance is great and the instrument sounds incredible. 6:07 what is this piece, if you don't mind me asking?

This is a very different instrument with very special voices, I like it. Fun to see you getting close with the organ over time, it certainly takes time to get used to different instruments especially if built by a different school of builders.

I simply blame the little mistake on that ghastly pedalboard. 😀 Thanks for sharing this organ tour. 🌴☀️🌴

[@drdylanman]

Another great video! The stop knobs look unusual--do they control two stops each, or two pitches, or how do they work? haha I noticed there are two numbers on each, and it appears that they can be slid halfway or all the way across.

as My friend from the Netherlands might say it plays Heavy By the sound of the keys being pressed. MagicalPipes But Great Sounding Instrument.

[@WMAlbers1]

Thanks for the interesting demo. Who was the builder of the organ?

Great demonstration Paul. It’s a wonderful organ Does this have a barker like mechanism for the action? It almost sounds like I hear pneumatics behind the console.

Hey, lieber Paul. Vielen Dank für's zeigen und für dein Spiel an dieser schönen Orgel. Sehr interessant sind die Schieberegister, wie ich schon beim letzten Video bemerkt habe.

E' un LOCATELLI: per noi italiani un organo non vale un altro. Il costruttore vi imprime una caratteristica unica. Gioia e frustrazione di chi vuole imporre all'organo un programma prestabilito. Il bergamasco diede i natali ai famosissimi Serassi, ai Bossi, Locatelli nessuno è uguale all'altro

Eheh 😂 the tight pedalboard of the 1800's organ is very difficult to manage, but I think that it can become a great personal challenge to play Bach pieces.

What is the name of the music at 8:26?

Thats J. S. Bach‘s „Jesu, Joy of Man‘s Desiring“ 😀
