Have to admit I didn't expect this instrument to be so fabulous when it was bundled in my recent Rotterdam purchase .. Agree, it's a truly unforgiving yet great 'practice' instrument and came as a really pleasant surprise. The clarity is astonishing ... Great demonstration as always .. Love these demo videos ... Keep them coming Richard. Tx

I shed a tear. What an amazing organ! Every stop sounds so alive, so balanced across the whole orchestra! Rich, warm, with a brilliance that's just where it should be. Amazing! Found your channel recently and I love your work. Keep doing what you're doing! Greetings from Sweden :)

Sonus Paradisi sample sets are simply fabulous !

This organ sounds as if it were designed and voiced for JS Bach. And well done.

It indeed is very suited for Baroque music.

Marcussen is one of the leaders of the "Modern Baroque" organs which is well adapted for Bach.

I loved 542 - including the musical treats (ornamentation/manual changes). This is a lovely sample-set. Such a unique character, but interesting that even here the Laurenskerk accoustic is recognizable. I can't say I have encountered a 16' Regaal before - fascinating to see that it lives in a "swellbox" of sorts - your demo was most effective. Thank you!

Sounds like a really nice organ with such a beautiful sound. So enjoyed the demonstration. Looking forward to Virtual Church on Sunday.

How lovely you also demonstrate this organ (the 2nd biggest of the 4 organs in this church!) ! It has been renovated a few years ago, and is a wonderful instrument, which allows for instance for Vierne's Messe Solennelle

Uncompromisingly beautiful, and amazing for 1959, while over here we were still bickering about that electric action organ on the south bank... Thanks, Richard, for this excellent channel and all your hard work. It's certainly kept me entertained during lockdown 🙏🏻

Yet another wonderful Dutch organ, beautiful and crystal clear sound. Certainly one to consider once I have completed my new console. Thank you for this splendid demonstration. 👍

Eddie, it is really a beautiful and crystal clear organ. Richard gives a perfect performance of this instrument. But if you like this organs watch the Martini in Groningen. About transparency spoken...

Thank you for posting. Your talent on the organ is amazing. You may become the younger version of Peter Hurford.

I was recently exposed to a Neo - Baroque instrument very similar to this (smaller though) - brilliant video Richard !!

This transept organ is beautiful to play, and is now my go-to instrument for practicing thanks to its super clear voicing. Bach's Trio Sonatas work really well on this organ.

Thank you for sharing this nice moment. Would be nice to have the title of each piece. Is this recording done with the dry or wet set ? Thank you for your answer as I need to buy this set pretty soon.

Can you imagine the choices Hayo Boerema has to make when performing in this church? Which organ to play?!

What is the piece at 4:54???? I've had that in my head for the last year or two and have sang it to a few people and they all come up blank! Please, please, tell me! Btw, this is another stellar demonstration of a beautiful instrument!
