ORGAN DEMONSTRATION - Jesuitenkirche Heidelberg (III/59 Kuhn) - Paul Fey Organ Demonstration

[@vewilli]

Wenn ich da unten stünde, würde ich mir nur denken: „Was für ein großartiger Organist da oben“. Einfach klasse. 👍🏻👏🏻🙏🏻

[@PaulFey]

Danke!! 😀

[@WMAlbers1]

Bach selbst sagte vieleicht: "Mehr, mehr!"

[@vyvianspipes]

This instrument absolutely has the most fun and unique colours I’ve heard on any new organ in a while. That Viola Da Gamba 8’ though… I need one of those in my town’s churches… Maximum level of gorgeous!

[@PaulFey]

So true! I love all these different voices too, the Gamba is sooooo stringy - that’s what it should sound like! 😀

[@vyvianspipes]

@@PaulFey It’s almost like the big beefy strings of the Great manual of Billerbeck, they almost sound like high-pressure ranks. So rarely are string-scale pipes seen under higher winds! 🌬

[@niklasbuhler9987]

This Viola da Gamba is truly an amazing stop but have you ever heard a Gambe by Goll Luzern?

[@frpaddy]

Absolutely wonderful, Paul. A superb “on location” demonstration of this magnificent organ. Great footage of this beautiful church also.

[@PaulFey]

Thank you so much, Paddy! I‘m so happy to hear that you‘ve enjoyed the video 😀

[@todddepue3650]

You brought tears of joy this evening. So powerful yet quietly at times. Thank you sharing your gift with the world. Wish I could hear you in person.

[@PaulFey]

Thank you so much, Todd!!

[@jeffreydronenburgsr.8224]

This organ demonstration is extraordinarily well done in every respect. Your choices of hymn tunes and masterful improvisation really helped to showcase this magnificent instrument. Videography is superb. The subtitles of the stops used at that moment is very helpful and really adds to the demonstration. Thank you, Paul, for showing us the church and the beautiful town of Heidelberg as well. Bravo! Jeff in Maryland, USA

[@PaulFey]

I‘m so happy to hear that, Jeff! Thank you for watching!!

[@SeanNCraleigh]

Paul, this was a wonderful demonstration of this modern pipe organ. Your video was well made and I like having the subtitles of the stop names. I enjoyed your improvisations, too. Thanks for a meaningful presentation.

[@PaulFey]

Thank you so much!!

[@jeffjensen27]

To A FULLY Trained Musician With A Precise Ear As Most All Organist Have Can Clearly Hear Each Change In Pitch In The Stops Being Added But To The Untrained Ear Unfortunately It Probably All Sounds The Same. I THANK GOD FOR Having A EAR For This Music! AWESOME As USUAL Your Videos & Playing Is. Beautiful Crisp Sou8nding Organ.

[@PaulFey]

Thank you so much, Jeff!

[@peterjharnden]

What a wonderfully voiced organ. I can hear why it's one of your favourites, Paul. Thank you for the excellent demonstration.

[@PaulFey]

Thank you so much, Peter!

[@johansmelt3883]

I fully agree with you: this is a very beautiful organ. I understand that you love this one. I saw and heard an inspired Paul!

[@williamjeffrey40]

Paul, once again you have overwhelmed me with the beauty and power of your control of this gorgeous instrument. Thank you for demonstrating the rich colors contained in this pipe organ. It must be such a thrill to be able to make it sing like that. I truly hope a recording company will soon recognize your expertise so that you can produce a CD.

[@PaulFey]

Thank you so much!! Let’s see where the future takes us 😀

[@yvesbrissette4074]

One of the best video ! I really like this organ. I have notting against Hauptwerk but nothing is like really good organ that "talks" and "signs" !Thank you Paul.

[@PaulFey]

So true - a real instrument is a real instrument 😀 Thank you so much for watching, Yves!!

[@jdbreaux8080]

I enjoyed hearing the broad spectrum of this demonstration. The acoustics inside are breathtaking as is the brightness inside this church. What an outstanding venue. Could not help but to do more research and found The Bachchor Heidelberg Choir. Wow! What true pure perfection in the acoustics. Every voice, every instrument can be heard throughout the interior. What an experience it must be to actually be any part of this institution. I have not heard any recordings anywhere on earth to date that are so wonderful. After singing, playing here where else is there to go? Truly unforgettable. The pipes are beautiful. There is no way to critique anything. I do not know if I will ever find any other venue and voices better than what I have heard and seen here at Jesuitenkirche Heidelberg so well captured on the Internet. The only way to do so is being present, on location to appreciate the experience. It has renewed my interest in digging deeper on other places of worship in this region of the world. Looking forward to rolling up my sleeves and finding for more treasures for my senses to take in. Does this instrument have multiple consoles such as the van den Heuvel organ at the Church of St. Eustache in Paris? I do not know how common multiple consoles are. More research for me moving forward. Your work has truly inspired me to the core and this ole dawg is learning new tricks, certainly when it comes to the organ. I have my work cut out for me. Thanks Paul for reaching into to me and opening my eyes and ears for years to come.

[@fusspot57]

Fantastic as always - is the Glockenspiel stop only found in German organs Paul. There were some other stops I have never heard before. Love what you did with Abide with me. A marvelous instrument played by a true maestro.

[@PaulFey]

Thank you for watching, Michael! Yes, you can usually find the Glockenspiel in the larger, modern Instruments here. In the US there would be a Celeste instead - we seem to like these „darker“ bells more 😀

[@mspg2]

@@PaulFey Thanks fr that Paul

[@davidpescod7573]

The tonal quality of the stops of the organ are truly beautiful whatever the range. Paul, you must have been thrilled to be able to play on such an instrument, and to demonstrate the full range of sounds available through improvisations of various hymns. Do you know if there are available recordings of this organ? If not, I certainly think you should consider making some. The organ of the Jesuit Church in Heidelberg is magnificent. Many thanks, Paul, for another great demonstration, so well recorded, both in sound and visual impact

Somehow demo of real pipe organ like this is much better than an electronic one. Electronic stops often sound opaque compared to more transparent pipe-produced sound.

For sure, I totally agree! Its hard to visit a real pipe organ for a video every week though 😀

Eine sehr schöne Orgel. Großartig modern im Look, vielseitig disponiert und sauber im Klang. Sehr schön gespielt! Ist die Tonaufnahme bei dir oben am Spieltisch erfolgt oder hast du unten in der Kirche aufgenommen?

[@dersachse7482]

Super Orgel ☺

[@PaulFey]

[@astian_sebus]

Wie wird das Glockenspiel angesteuert? Direkt mechanisch oder elektrisch? Ich kenne das von einer der Orgeln, an denen ich regelmäßig spiele, die selber eins eingebaut hat. Dort wird es mechanisch angesteuert und man kann sogar mit dem Anschlag die Lautstärke beeinflussen, ein völlig neues Gefühl beim Orgelspielen. Dabei wird jedoch natürlich dann der Anschlag schwerer, da mehr Mechanik bewegt werden muss. Ähnlich, wie bei einer Koppel.

[@PaulFey]

Gute Frage - deiner Beschreibung nach ist es aber elektronisch, du hast es beim spielen jedenfalls nicht gemerkt 😀

[@jimshaw899]

I wonder: how many miles would a young Bach walk to play upon this instrument? And who is this boisterous young man in the organ loft today, playing tutti? Kompliment! And oh that celeste...
