Exploring one of the rarest Pipe Organs in the World - Neresheim Abbey - Paul Fey

[@howardbaitcher5464]

I hope you can come back here when the weather warms up.

[@PaulFey]

Definitely will!!

[@Landon_Durrant]

That last cord was heaven

[@ExAnimoPortugal]

That church with that sunlight and the sound of that organ must be very much like going up to heaven

[@howardbaitcher5464]

A GREAT instrument.

[@matthieubazile3350]

Despite all the many out of tune reeds, I can tell that when everything is right, the organ has a glorious sound. Thank you for this great demonstration!

[@maartenbuma3527]

Wow, Paul, this was great to hear. Newer crossed my mind that an organ can run out of air!! But it seems to be possible as you explained.

[@Geoplanetjane]

Before electricity, organs’ air had to be hand pumped. Maybe by choirboys?

[@e.c.9468]

this building and the way the organs "enter" the walls if you see what I mean, letting the daylight enter is amazing

[@rsnikwad]

Just loved that reverb! Fantastic Paul!

[@PaulFey]

Thank you so much!! 😀

[@susannelichtenfeld18]

Herzlichen Dank für die Vorstellung dieser grandiosen Orgel und das Präsentieren der Register. Man spürt Deine Begeisterung für die Königin der Instrumente, Paul! 😊

[@jemybaldovinovelasco6382]

Every generation, a gifted artisan/maestro like you comes as a gift to us and showcase your prowess to numerous organs around of the world that has been not featured quiet a lot. More so, every single given time, you feature these organs with leaps and bounds that’s so pleasing to hear every time. Thanks again Paul!

[@R4c_444]

São órgãos poderosos que vc nem imagina o poder do som, infrasom e magnético que este instrumento é capaz. Eles está em perfeito estado, falta manutenção. Mas a construção deste instrumento foi idealizada por uma geração que detinha o conhecimento do som, infrasom, e eletromagnetismo. Cimática etc. Ressonância.... Deixa eu ficar quieto. Anjos usam essas ciências, mas eles são especialistas em algo.

[@matthewbellocchio5877]

HI Paul. Glad that you recorded the Neresheim Abbey organ! I played and examined it in 1983, a few years after it was restored by Kuhn of Switzerland. It has a wonderful, rich sound and an amazingly complicated mechanical key action under the floor! Did you get to try the Choir organ, which plays electrically from the gallery console? Its stops are controlled by the rectangular buttons on the top of the console.

[@philipgibson7175]

I do not have the knowledge of the various sections of the organ, I throughly enjoyed the demonstration of what the instrument can do with the explanation.

[@PaulFey]

Thank you so much!! 😀

[@kopfhorer5742]

Riesige Freude, vielen Dank 😀

[@PaulFey]

Vielen Dank! 😀

[@chipsanders0822]

Your talent amazes me, Paul. You are enormously gifted. Bravo, bravo! ❤👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️

[@ZENOBlAmusic]

Brilliant Acoustic and Crystal clear Notes, Flutes, Trumpets! What a joyful experience! German Master-craft!

[@ZENOBlAmusic]

I can imagine that the Maintenance should be done by a highly specialised craftsman - a very unique skill!

[@williammerry4746]

It is so good when you explain and play. You are good at this. and your English is clear and perfect

[@Geoplanetjane]

The Germans are sophisticated in teaching languages to children, starting at an early age. Clearly Paul has had such an education.

[@skn9895]

That reverb is amazing!

[@peternaryd_operasinger]

Great demonstration! Well played as always my friend!🤗👍👏👏👏👏👏

[@timmit3579]

There is not much more than something like This to bring someone to their knees in Worship to God...

[@Ritopher]

Ausgezeichnet!! Gefällt mir. Vielen Dank für diese Demonstration an dieser hellen Orgel. Diese alten Barockkirchen sind ein meisterhaftes Werk des Menschen.

[@GloriaSeright]

What a fabulous sound!! A magnificent cathedral, and an incredible organ!!:❤❤❤

[@roberthossen8354]

I saw your announcement on Instagram and again you've played BEAUTIFULLY BRAVO 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👌🏻

[@PaulFey]

Thank you so much!! 😀

[@gdebergh7875]

Very interesting presentation of this magnificent abbey and this very beautiful organ. Bravo dear Paul. Guy (Miami) And by the way, very plaisant introduction, like you made for your first StLaurent visit, Rotterdam ❤❤❤

[@michaelbrown-tf1so]

Paul, I have been following you for years and I love watching you be more than a magnificent organ player, but now, an enjoyable personality. More ! More ! More !

[@PaulFey]

Thank you so much!! 😀😀

[@volkmarbusse]

👌

[@Matooosh]

This is the music of victory and greatness, the last chord is like, captain, we sucessfully removed the last piece of darkness from the planet: Mission accomplished.

[@blasebalg3686]

Großartige Arbeit Paul Fey ❤👍👌👏🙏

[@jdkoozer]

Paul after My meeting with GvH I hope someday to Meet You in person as well I enjoy every post Thank You so Much MagicalPipes from Michigan USA

[@pinballdan]

This has the BEST sound I have ever heard! That REVERB is just so AWESOME!

[@PaulFey]

Same!! I absolutely love the reverb in that church!! 😀

[@pinballdan]

@@PaulFey I want to hear in real life! Must be UNREAL !! The BASS is SO big and WARM sounding!! Makes my 18" subs FLUTTER🤣

[@SeanNCraleigh]

A great demonstration of this beautiful organ. The reverb in this space is amazing and greatly enhances the richness of the sound. The full Hauptwerk is incredible. I especially enjoyed the various flute stops, noticeably the 4 ft flutes. I'm sure this would be a wonderful instrument to perform on when the temperature is warmer and the tuning has been corrected. A great video ! Thank you , Paul .

[@nunomira]

Woderfull full sound and reverbation!

[@williammerry4746]

Love your videos Paul. You are a brilliant organist and a fine young man. You will go far, with God's blessing. This is a great organ is an amazing church. Hope you can do a concert from here someetime soon.

[@PaulFey]

Thank you so much!! 😀

[@gerardklehm1902]

What a magnificent church and a glorious organ!!! You have a very pleasant speaking voice and are a joy to watch!!!!❤❤❤

[@dersachse7482]

Danke Maestro Paul Fey 👌👌👌

[@Mumriken]

One of my absolute favourite organs in the whole world, too bad it seems to be in such need of restauration but all organs do from time to time though.

[@gerhardflink5599]

Sehr schön präsentiert, ich wünsche Dir ein wunderschönes Wochenende. Liebe Grüße. Gerd 👏 👍 👏

[@Sebastian-hw2ol]

Hier habe ich ab 1986 fünf wichtige Jahre meines Lebens verbracht und viele Stunden an diesem Spieltisch gesessen. Eine besondere Herausforderung war die Begleitung des gregorianischen Chorals über die Chororgel, einen Halbton transponiert, mit einigen Sekunden Nachhall und enormer Entfernung... Aber es ging! Vielen Dank für diese schöne Demonstration!

[@fantailspringdale]

Bravo Paul. Paul, as we approach the celebration of Easter in two weeks I am hoping that you can play a wonder Easter Hymn, "The Strife is Over"(American version not English). Many thanks.

[@BeverlyRogers-l4k]

Really enjoy your talent and the wonderful sounds of those magnificent organs. The churches are beautiful. Thank you for sharing your beautiful music.

[@PaulFey]

Thank you so much for watching! 😀

[@jenischoldiefreak]

O,wie schön Paul. Wenn ich das vorher gewusst hätte. Neresheim liegt in meiner Nähe. Herzlichen Dank.

[@johannuscornelisdeiman1900]

Amgnificent!

[@eryk2]

Wie immer, Lieber Paul, Du bist der beste! 👍👏🤜🤛🤝

[@urshandschin5108]

Was mir hier auch sehr gut gefällt, ist die Position des Spieltisches. Der Organist hat einen offenen, weiten und freien Blick in die Kirche! Das ist wohl selten so; meist spielt man gegen eine Wand oder ist als Orgelspieler gar wie in einem Gehäuse eingesperrt.

[@PaulFey]

Da stimme ich dir voll zu! 😀

[@n.g.g.3113]

Fantastische Klänge ❤👍👍👍

[@steffensindermann3220]

Hallo, lieber Paul. Deine Vorstellungsvideos sind sehr professionell. Dieses ist wieder ein Beweis, deines Könnens. Die Abbey ist genial und die Akustik erst! Vielen Dank für deine Erklärung und dein super Spiel (nicht nur Tutti!). Viele liebe Grüße von mir. Bis bald. Steffen aus Görlitz.

[@PaulFey]

Vielen Dank, lieber Steffen!! 😀

[@tilltilly1421]

Superlative church...

[@richietwoshoes9531]

Maestro, when you play the King of all instruments, the hair on my arms stands, Paul, I love listening to you play; God Bless you for all the happiness you bring the world, L Richard USA New York♥

[@c-historia]

so amazing, well done 👌👍

[@megustalapizzaxd2463]

Holy moly THATS DEFINETLY POWERFUL

[@Geoplanetjane]

Holy moly indeed!

[@karlbahlmann9772]

❤lichen Dank, lieber Paul. Großartige Demonstration.

[@orgelschlager1159]

Ich freue mich über das tolle Video 👌👍🙏

[@chrisgunther6847]

Sehr schön anzuhören Paul Fey. Vielen Dank für die wunderbare Demo. 👍🏻👏👌

[@jillhertzog6365]

It’s a pretty church I ❤ it PAul

[@enricomariabasaldella]

Non mi aspettavo da un'organo del '700 una tale combinazione di registri splendidamente centrati in molte diverse opportunità di suono, La sonorità dai registri più dolci al gran ripieno crea una magia splendida, con una chiesa che acusticamente molto ben disposta per uno strumento simile. splendido veramente . M°Enrico Maria Basaldella

[@andreagrasselli1169]

Just great!

[@EElgar1857]

Bravo, Paul; great demo! I visited this abbey (in hot weather!) on an organ tour, and liked it a lot. The reverberation is quite extreme! 😁

[@galambosvali12]

Köszönöm szépen !

[@didierducret285]

Hey Paul. What s an amazing play. Nice nice very nice bravo and thanks

[@epincion]

Thanks Paul for the demonstration. Given that the shape of the organ is 4 separate tower cases linked with three high up smaller bridge cases between them, the mechanical linkage from the console must be very complex if as you say it’s a fully mechanical organ. Those pedal reeds are amazing in the acoustic. The organist’s view over the congregation from the console is one of the best I’ve seen. Lovely high baroque Rococco style monastery church. Hopefully the organ is being looked after even though it’s not played often.

[@BeverleyWaldron-d1h]

Very pretty!

[@jacquesbruno6046]

Merci Paul pour cette présentation magnifique de l'orgue Holzhay de Neresheim Abbey !! L'écho est tout à fait extraordinaire !!! Venez à Roquevaire (South of France) nous faire entendre votre talent, un grand orgue vous attend avec la console de Pierre Cochereau.

[@jdkoozer]

From MagicalPipes A Fantastic Reverb Love this Organ Thank You for this post

[@jdkoozer]

And I Love the Acoustics the Most

[@PaulFey]

Thank you so much!!

[@laurentdevrillac3301]

Superbe présentation!!J'adore le son de cet orgue.Des oeuvres de J.L.Krebs ont été enregistrées dessus et c'est un pur bonheur.L'abbatiale est somptueuse.

[@gero6488]

Sehr hörenswert, vielen Dank. 👌👌👍👍

[@HorstB.-nf6nd]

Ganz toll und wunderschön gespielt. Tolles Video. 👏👌👍

[@bartk07]

This organ should be sampled, no doubts. I would spend any money for it.

[@vidselih]

There is another JN Holzhey organ sampled for Hauptwerk, the Weissenau one. And i think it is even better than Neresheim. The reverberation here in Neresheim is too extreme for my taste (some say its even 11s).

[@johnhenryholiday4964]

Paul you managed well on that organ.... Its a beautiful church and a beautiful organ.... Its winter there and obviously they cannot heat that chuch for historic and actual monetary reasons which does cause multiple problems .... even the best organ in the world will not do well in cold.... I immensely enjoyed your tour of the organ stops.... Doc.

[@PaulFey]

Thank you so much!!

[@Elisabeth-r2p]

Tolle Vorstellung dieser schönen Orgel und der schönen Kirche.

[@wellallrightthen]

Paul, thank you so much for your demonstration. It is thrilling to hear the sound of that instrument. And such a beautiful church! Must be what Heaven looks like.

[@anah6270]

What a beauty! Mesmerizing!

[@Shankarees]

I wish I can be with you all the time you play. Organ music creates what looks like huge clouds that get mixed and turn into each other. I like your person and humility even though you are genius and masterful player. Love❤

[@Michi-e7d]

Wie auf FB erwähnt Danke für deinen "Ausflug" zu den Benediktinern auf dem Ulrichsberg,Neresheim

[@PaulFey]

Vielen Dank fürs Zuschauen!!

[@bruce8209]

nice demo! a beautifull church, this must be a big fest to play on this when the tuning is o.k.!

[@kesmarn]

Appropriate that this Abbey is just a small step from heaven itself -- both in visual and (especially) auditory ways. Thank you so much for bringing the latter to us -- even in spite of those few weather-related imperfections! Now... if the heating system from the "lower regions" could be tapped as needed for the well-being of the organ and the comfort of the organist, that really would be heaven. No need to travel further. 😀

[@Sebdertenor]

Warum gibt es von dieser Orgel eigentlich fast nur Videos, wo die Zungen nicht gestimmt sind. So ein tolles Instrument, so schön vorgestellt, aber wirklich bedauerlich, dass die Zungen immer klingen, als würde man einer Katze auf den Schwanz treten

[@altwasser2305]

Eine wunderbare kräftige Orgel. Dieses lange Echo. Wenn man bedenkt, sie sollte mal für eine neue weichen. Ich höre sie gerne und habe CD`s. Danke für deine Erklärungen und Spiel.

[@BeverleyWaldron-d1h]

This is a beautiful Organ! I know you enjoy playing the instrument.

[@daveogarf]

BRAVO, sir! Incredible instrument(s), and excellent demonstrations!

[@rextv5154]

The wonderful and very nice episode.

[@hubertushuyn6558]

Eine herrliche Orgel und ganz toll vorgeführt.

[@gingerdude7040]

Very majestic sound from this organ. Glorious to hear!

[@scronx]

I can't believe it -- so much like Weingarten Abbey, including the organ console? Or am I seeing double. Thanks for this coming deo!

[@Enkidu1701]

Ich habe gesehen, dass ganz rechts oben am Spieltisch ein Schalter "Chororgel" ist. Kann man die damit zuschalten? Bei 10:34 sieht man ja, dass rechts und links über dem Chorgestühl noch Preifen sind. BTW Eine wundervolle Kirche (und Orgel).

[@volkmarbusse]

Jaa, man könnte Zuschalten, aber die Chororgel funktioniert leider nicht mehr.😂

[@herbertschrauth4202]

Lieber herr fey ich höre gerne ihre virtuoses spiel..bin immer wieder beeindruckt..lg aus dem bistum Würzburg 🎉

[@user-cy5xu]

Sehr schön! Als nächstes Stadtkirche Giengen? Habe dort in meiner Ausbildungszeit ein paar mal gespielt, ein Instrument, das heraussticht.. Dass die Neresheimer Orgel ständig verstimmt ist, scheint mit der geographischen Lage der Orgel zusammen zu hängen, an den Fenstern+Sonne.

[@walterbenson5275]

OH MY GOD !!!

[@c.g.5590]

Das Video ist dir wieder toll gelungen . Prima Paul

[@vickyclarke4289]

Psalm 119: 160 The very essence of your word is truth. And all your righteous judgments endure forever.

[@jorgeandrade20]

It's a gorgeous instrument on a phenomenal place, but what makes it rare? If anything, maybe exquisite is the word you're looking for.

[@PaulFey]

Thank you for watching! 😀 Find me another combination of an organ from 17xx, huge church, amazing, white facade. That what makes it rare imo

[@aury5408]

You should have played during the Paris Pipe Organ dedication

[@OrganforheartandsoulEvaRamstec]

Super ❣️ ❣️ ❣️ Liebe Grüße und beste Wünsche von Evi

[@william.j.rivera5324]

Dios ❤❤❤ JESUS 😊😊

[@mariodesilva8193]

[@prarieborn6458]

OH MY ! tThe organ and the whole church is made of beautiful multicolored marble!!. How old is the Church and organ? . is this a Catholic church? i hope so, The Organ sounds Heavenly Thank You for sharing it with us.❤

[@alois2709]

Sehr schön Paul Fey ich freue mich 👌👍👏

[@Geoplanetjane]

Why isn‘t that magnificent organ being maintained?

[@R4c_444]

Das sie aus wie die orgel in der bad mergentheimer schloß kirche

[@palandromarco5761]

Ciao Paul e complimenti. Posso sapere per piacere come si chiama la musica che suoni nell'introduzione? Grazie

[@leonardoferreira3077]

What is the name of the song played at the end?

[@Geoplanetjane]

Warum spielt man nicht so oft diese orgel?
