Organ built after Zacharias Hildebrandt in Houston, TX, Noack Op. 128 Christ the King | DEMO

[@peteacher52]

Another superb display of quality improvisations in demonstrating this fine organ. At one point I was surprised, yet not really surprised, to hear your obvious (to me at least) tip of the cap to Louis Couperin, such is your ability to sit down and play "off the cuff". Seitze de Vries and yourself have set the standard for period improvisation.

I love Noack's instruments. I got to work with him some 30 years ago and have been deeply impressed with his instruments. This is a wonderful instrument and you play it wonderfully.

[@godwingretysd6402]

Wonderful demonstration, thank you. The more I listened, those milder "lower-pitched" mixtures are very unique; almost more of a color than edge or "bite". Very pleasant to listen to for extended periods.

[@bkarosi]

It is the characteristic of the Hildebrandt style

Lélekmelengető, varázslatos dallamok, hangok, improvizációk! Csodálatos orgona és mesteri orgonabemutató! Ma "Vizkereszt" ünnepén, Krisztus Királyunk megjelent, és János által megkeresztelkedett a Jordán folyóban. A zenében kristálytiszta hangokat hallhatunk, amely elvitt a Jordán folyóhóz...A három királyokat is ünnepeljük, akik elindultak a csillagot követve, és akik " Látták csillagát az égen felragyogni" J.S.Bach. " In Dir ist Freude" csodálatosan játszott, igazán örömöt varázsolt a szívembe. Köszönöm kedves Bálint, isteni zenei áldását! Krisztus áldja életét, és a csillag vezesse továbbra is zenei zarándokutazását! Üdvözlettel, szeretettel: Magyarországról: M. 🕊🌦💦🙏

Thank you for this excellent and most enjoyable introduction into a special instrument! In dir ist Freude, especially after this presentation!

[@bkarosi]

I hope you enjoy the full concert that I will post next!

[@salemsokiredor9225]

You can count on that, and I fully expect to enjoy it. The last time we could hear this instrument on site was Hans Davidson’s recital 15 years ago. So there is great anticipation to hear your recent concert on this channel, thank you for sharing it.

[@stefanodeluca-jl2si]

Grazie per questa interessante introduzione. E' uno strumento fantastico. Complimenti

[@markbiondolillo5562]

Gracias!

[@OneLSBHymnaWeek]

Very nice! Love the principal chorus

[@charleswray404]

Remember the dedication of this instrument was a big upgrade from the small Regier instrument. Thank you for sharing.

[@bkarosi]

It's a tremendous organ indeed!

[@jwyatt631]

Thank you Balint for a delightful demonstration of a beautiful instrument.

[@hansbeestman7460]

Fijn te horen en te zien Dank groeten van Hans uit Zwolle Nederland

[@agogobell28]

I hope one day to play on an organ like this.

[@oscaralbertotocco7089]

Excellent Work!

[@ktheeldar]

God bless you!

[@organist1982]

I liked how your improv seemed to go into French Classic mode at 5:05 when you brought on the gravitas!

[@thewilliamtan]

Interesting instrument. Clearly a well built instrument, but I’m not sure what to think about the scaling. It seems like it would be a joy to play. I love the facade and console design. Great improvisations as always, Dr! I really liked the 8, 4, and 2 2/3 solo.

[@jameslouder]

It's not a Silbermann copy. The conception of the instrument derives from the work of Zacharias Hildebrandt (1688-1757), specifically his surviving masterpiece at Saint Wenzel's Church in Naumberg. Hildebrandt had apprenticed with Silbermann, but they later fell out questions of competition. Hildebrandt's style certainly owes much to Silbermann, but he later went his own way artistically as well as professionally--encouraged by a friend who thought him the best in the business: none other than Sebastian Bach, whose own relationship with Silbermann was famous for its ups and downs.

[@bkarosi]

Yes, the scale is certainly a little different from most organs.

[@georgefieldsjr.640]

Very Beautiful sound and design 😂😂😂❤❤❤

[@bkarosi]

Glad you like it!

[@eacromorne4829]

Mr. Karosi, thank you for posting so many fantastic videos. Would you please allow us to take a look at the audio and video equipment you use for your videos. Your recordings are an art in themselves.

[@bkarosi]

I used a gopro and a Sony A6400 camera with two Schoeps MK2 mic connected to an H4

[@eacromorne4829]

@@bkarosi Thank you for this information and for taking the time to reply. Are the microphones placed on the gallery next to the organist, or in the nave, near the listeners? I also see little figurines on the video at the foot of the pipes in the left and central turrets: are they made of chocolate?

[@thelittlestorylady2980]

I hope you can make a trip to San Diego to play at the Organ Pavilian, in Balboa Park the Emaculata at USD and also the small chapel there at USD ！😊

[@pregart001]

Прекрасный орган и замечательные импровизации.

[@stephandippon9973]

[@bkarosi]

I love Metzler organs. Please consider me for a recital in the summer!

[@stephandippon9973]

@bkarosi Mail ist coming soon.

[@andrewketchum960]

Question. Is the Quinta 3' here really a 2 2/3'? Same question for the Nasat 3' on the Oberwerk. I have seen this notation on other organ demos as well. If it is a 2 2/3', why is it indicated as 3'? Thank you for your input.

[@bkarosi]

3' is just the old notation.

[@SorenxD123]

Is it just me or does the Viola di Gamba sound more like a Gemshorn

[@bkarosi]

It definitely does!

[@InventorZahran]

Viola di Gemsba?

[@CKruegerOrgan]

I think I read somewhere that baroque VDGs where tapered like a Gemshorn

[@rsns311257]

Interesting because of the Bach-Hildebrandt connection, but the sound did not convince me. The mixtures are oddly lacking in brilliance - at least it seemed so. Also the flutes did nothing for me, except, and only to a certain extent, the 8+2 on manual II and the Rohrflóte 8.

[@bkarosi]

The principal chorus certainly is my favorite too on this instrument and the balance between stops is remarkable. I know low mixtures are not everyone's cup of tea, but they work extremely well here.

[@organist1982]

Were Silbermann's mixtures brighter than Hildebrandt's? I know that the Central German organs were typically less bright than the North German organs.

[@gerhardrohne2261]

yes yes yes, altoo many organists are besotted by thewidor and cavallie-coll-world...
