Simply sublime, Paul! I want to learn how to play this now, ive been listening to it nonstop.

Don't you just love pedal reeds that growl at you so beguilingly! Thank you for your beautifully planned and executed performance.

Wonderful sounds like real trumpets Paul u look like an overgrown kid playing a child's keyboard Excellent

[@SeanNCraleigh]

Such a powerful sound. Those Spanish trumpets really are unique. A great recording, Paul. What you are doing in making videos of historic organs is such an important contribution to the musical world and allowing these organ to be seen as never before. Thanks for all your efforts and time to preserve this organ on video.

[@PaulFey]

Thank you so much, Gene!!

[@jeffreydronenburgsr.8224]

Outstanding comment! Well said, and thank you for doing so!

[@mspg2]

There is no doubt that these Spanish Baroque instruments really get one going -you can see 16 th -17th century ladies and gentlemen in gorgeous costumes dancing in pomp - wonderful that you were given the chance to play this amazing instrument - your versatility continues to amaze us Paul.

[@PaulFey]

So true! 😀

[@johnpitchlynn9341]

Ah...there is no dancing in a Catholic Church especially in Spain when this was written.

[@Alvar2001]

@@johnpitchlynn9341 Theres is not "specially in Spain" when talking about catholicism, last thing spaniards wanted centuries ago is that Catholic Church was "spanish" but universal, so a catholic church in Manila it was the same that a catholic church in Milano 300 years ago, that was the purpose. That said, spaniards had their preferences in daily life, dancing was one of them besides being very catholics, and in fact they danced inside churches in special days century after century as much that in fact Carlos III forbade dacing inside the churches because of decorum because spaniards danced very much very often. Padre Antonio Soler was music profesor of infante Gabriel, son of Carlos III.

[@johnpitchlynn9341]

@@Alvar2001 Ah...excuse me...I am a life long Catholic...so don't try to tell me about Church History...which you get wrong. So let us review. The so-called Universal Church is a myth...because every catholic country turned and twisted church dogma to fit its own biases and purposes. And no one danced in Catholic Churches as a rule...in any country including Spain. And the only dancing in Spain in a Catholic Church courtyard...was the dance of those poor souls in a death dance in the throws of being burned at the stake or hung for being a heretic. So please the only thing universal about the Catholic church was LATIN!!! Oh...and don't forget indulgences, the French Popes, the Spanish Inquisition 1478 through 1834, land craps etc. All against the true meaning of Christianity.

[@johnpitchlynn9341]

@Alvar2001 wrong again...the only "universal" standard was Latin...the rest of the mass was a moving target tailored for specific race or nationality in the audience. The church is more " universal" today than it was back then. There were many sects and different holy orders in the church and they pretty much did their own thing. The Spanish Church was different than the French or English or African or Indian. So please don't try to sell me on a "universal church" 4 to 8 hundred Years ago that is just not true. There was constant change and differences. Vatican II did more to make the church "universal" than any previous councils

[@zenafisher9138]

What a wonderfully showy piece for such a gloriously overblown instrument. Draw stops like doorknobs, clackiest keys ever and it looks like something from a Disney film. Marvellous

[@PaulFey]

Thank you so much!! 😀

[@WINCHANDLE]

I want my funeral here, and this piece played. That reed on the lower manual is absolutely adorable.

[@WINCHANDLE]

OMG. This is what E Power Biggs played. Absolutely Superb. Thank you so much. The Spanish organs are utterly awesome. Ome Omg. Such clarity of all the reeds... OMG

[@epincion]

Thanks Paul for that genuinely unique experience for me of hearing Fanfare by Soler on an organ built for this work. I've visited many ancient Spanish churches and looked at the ranks of trumpets but sadly they have always been silent when I was there. Well played. The bass in the pedal line sounded like a drum beat. Chapeau.

[@PaulFey]

Thank you so much!! It’s literally is a stunning experience hearing these in real life! Absolutely incredible, and that Pedal Bombarde shakes the whole church 😀🎵

[@WINCHANDLE]

I keep coming back. Just brilliant. Paul understands the music and the organ, and the two have NEVER sounded better. EP Biggs did the same on a record my sister gave me...OMG ...40 years ago, and back then I was smitten by Spanish organs. Paul is DA MAN!!!

I first heard this piece played by E. Power Biggs on one of his "Historic Organs of Europe" vinyl disks more years ago than I want to count. It's great to see you playing it on an historic organ with those ancient pipes. Now I will have to dig out that LP disk and play it!😊

[@PaulFey]

[@roberthoffhines5419]

That LP melted my brain about 45 years ago. A big part of why I decided to pursue music.

[@WINCHANDLE]

ditto all the below. My sister sent me the Biggs album ?35 years ago. My favorite. opened an absolute love for Spanish Organs and music. I wish I could find a CD of that album. This "kid" plays this absolutely perfectly. Love the counterpoint with the knarly reeds in the lower manual. Only such color on Spanish organs...Hope some one makes a digital sample of this organ.

[@epincion]

That will be the baroque tuning of this organ - probably a′=392 Hz instead of the modern tuning standard of a′=440 Hz. Hence a 16' Bombarde sounds like a drum more like a 32' today.

Exciting. I bet it was fun playing it. I love this piece of music on a big Spanish organ (played through just once a month or less). Battle parade music in the church! And it reminds me that Antonio Soler likely had a hearing issue. (!) Surely, it ends napping in the nave. Could this be the Spanish precursor to Metallica? I find it interesting that no other region adopted this use of reed stops. Trumpet Resonator Reedissimo! Did you have a nice beach vacation in Mallorca? Jealous as hell...

[@markforman2768]

Wow first of all thank you so much for sharing this wonderful play of organ with us. By hearing this wonderful piece gives me joy and calmness. The harmony of the organ is very good and a bit unique to me in the style. Now comes my question. Is it true that the major part of this organ are tounge pipes? Or maybe the horizontal pipes are tounge pipes? Somehow it could be interpreted that there is a little disharmony in the sound. Or is it because of the age of the organ and the pipes? What makes that specific style of sound? Or is that the intention of the disposition of the organ? The harmony between base pipes and the rest is very nice. I like that style. How many registers does the organ have?

[@RobLeursKout]

Bravo!!

[@PaulFey]

Thank you! 😀

[@clementeleon8663]

Es admirable la bravura y gallardía de las trompetas españolas situadas de forma característica horizontalmente en lo que se conoce en el mundo entero como trompetería española o trompetería en batalla. Esta disposición tenía dos motivos, por una parte aumentaban la potencia y el efecto sobrecogedor sobre la nave, y por otro, permitían al organista reafinar con frecuencia sus tubos al tenerlos directamente sobre su cabeza. Los órganos del insigne maestro, que trabajó en todo el territorio nacional, abundan en las Islas Baleares. De todos ellos, el más grande y quizás el mejor, fue el de la catedral de Sevilla, que formaba dúo con un Verdalonga. Ambos fueron destruidos por el derrumbe del cimborrio de nuestra catedral, acaecido el 1 de agosto de 1888. Un saludo desde Sevilla.
