German Romantic Organ by Aeris after Wegenstein 1909 | Budapest | Balint Karosi

[@bowlerrollercoaster]

I love that Romantic Organs differ from country to country in France the Cavaille Coll Organs Are Powerful, Loud and bright. Where as German Organs are more mellow and soft.

[@OldPannonian]

It fills me with great satisfaction, that so close to the end of my life I have experienced the sounds of many beautiful organs. Balint is a first class demonstrator of the capabilities of these precious instruments. I watched several of his videos about organ sound demonstrations and each was a thrill to listen to. Wonderful!

[@stevelayden4596]

Absolutely stunning! German romantic-style instruments seem to be a blind spot in organ appreciation here in America and I can think of very few examples constructed in this style on this continent. And such a pity since they seem more flexible and better suited to a wide range of repertoire than our American Classic or symphonic styles. Listening to your videos here, the Liszt Academy, and even the original Walcker stops in Methuen has been eye opening. Like discovering a whole new world of color and refinement. Thank you!

[@Inesdysphoria]

I love the sound of any northern/central European organ. This video has now given me a rush.

[@matejsvoren9858]

I cannot say in words how beautiful the combination of your improvisation and the colors of this organ is. Thank you

[@Tillsammmans]

Thanks for yet another fantastic, concise demonstration!!!

[@kamilmadon5240]

Bravo!! Beautiful ! BWV 903 - Very nice tempo, despite the distance = sound delay :)

[@Inesdysphoria]

this video has also taught me the way that romantic organists develop pieces of music and how they use registration.

[@agogobell28]

I’m learning a lot about the general concept of the German Romantic organ from this.

[@andreacosta74]

agogobell28 Yes, that is a “lyrical” instrument

[@pieterluijk9403]

Always great to listen to you Balint, performing your organ music as well advising and teaching. I agree, you are not the ordinary kind of guy.

[@Mr05241948]

This organ has such beautiful melodic stops. I am learning so much from your interesting demonstrations about tonal combinations, and what different organ makers included in their specifications. Thank you once again for playing this wonderful instrument so well for us. The very best to you.

[@peteacher52]

Master Karosi, there are no superlative adjectives left to do justice to the excellence of this video.

[@garymcwithey980]

What a gorgeous romantic instrument, rich and robust. Very well demonstrated, as always.

[@darrenwilliams4828]

Some of the stops sounds very similar to Cavaillé-Coll. I can't imagine how it sounds from where you're sitting. Awesome video. 💪🏼

[@comms9803]

This organ is absolutely amazing! Thank you for sharing this great instrument with us!

[@OldPannonian]

I would love to have a Hauptwerk sound set of this organ. Is it planned to release such a set? A fabulous instrument. Your demonstration is so interesting. It draws my full attention and I feel as if I was sitting at the organ. Thanks Balint!

[@james.flores]

A very enjoyable demonstration. I own a Sauer organ Hauptwerk sample set and it's very similar to this.

[@rekkinregen]

Thx Balint for your delightfull demonstration! Indeed a very bright and intelligent and beautifull person. I like your passion and love for the instrument. It's not Balint and the organ but: the organ and Balint. That's the way !

[@alma2491]

You are a very special person. Very bright. Hugs from Brazil.

[@TheJohn1567]

This is my second watching and I enjoyed it even more than the first time if that is possible!

[@thunderhands3274]

Music have healing power. However, it cannot be born just by listening. I think that it's created by reflecting player's heart.

[@dkbvi]

Thanks for this interesting video!

Ein Höhepunkt hinsichtlich Komposition und Ausführung: *C h r o m a t i s c h e F u g e* aus *B W V 9 0 3* für Cembalo, nach der Transkription für Orgel von Regermaxe ---> 28:52 Thank You!

[@KravchenkoAudioPerth]

I enjoyed your Reger transcription. Bach's Chromatic Fantasia and Fugue is a great piece, even on a very Romantic organ :) Of the few versions I have on organ of BWV 903 I like your pacing. The organ is interesting, and it has a sound that is in it's place firmly in the canon of many important organ works. Thanks for making this video and sharing it Balint.

[@timothyszabo3320]

Balint Karosi reminds me a lot of my uncle Peter Szabo!

[@enziflex]

Prachtig!!!

[@mauropatrile2272]

Bach con questa sonorità è stupendo! Credo molto vicino a come lo interpretasse Mendhelson

[@walkerwhitehouse5413]

Wow, This is Fabulous

👍....Very enjoyable demo...thank you...

Balint. I love your outfit almost as much as your skill 🕶️✨

[@pierrelauwers8719]

It seems the Harmonia aetherea is a kind of echo Cornet in this instrument ?

[@thebog11]

www.organstops.org/h/HarmoniaAetheria.html Seens like it frequently has quint and tierce ranks.

[@pierrelauwers8719]

@@thebog11 Indeed, but the scales vary widely, from strings to Flute ! There is one flutey in the Dalstein& Härpfer organ in Hayange (F), this one without tierce rank. You may also encounter conical pipes.

[@vittoriobacchiega9118]

Hi Balint, Great demonstration! I'm happy for you that you "touch" these beautiful instruments. Thanks. I'd like to suggest you an improvement about the your voice recording: could you use a lavalier microphone ? The other is perfect (video and organ sound).

So many beautiful and colorful stops. But the Full Organ is disappointing; "flabby." Guess I prefer Klais and Kuhn. 😊

[@thebog11]

Do you mean that it is not bright enough? Assuming that I'm reading the stoplist correctly, which is on the church's website (and is in Hungarian), there is no pitch on this organ higher than 1'. (The Great mixture is four ranks and begins at "2 2/4", which I assume is a typo for 2 2/3.) Do you mean that the full chorus is not "fiery" enough? There seem to be only two manual reeds, a trumpet which is shared by the Great and Positiv, and the Swell oboe. Strange that there is no clarinet on the Positiv. Do you mean the sound is not full enough? This is harder to quantify, but given the sheer number of unison stops on the manuals (14 including the celeste), it seems hard to believe that it could be this! Not trying to shame you for your opinion, just curious.

[@bobh5087]
