The Compenius Organ - 1610

Produced by Roberto Falcone

[@Robert-er5wq]

Lene Langbelle truly is a master of the cornetto. Clear tones, no wheezing and barking, no mispitched tones that are heard with so many others.

[@taylordiclemente5163]

Sounds like an extension of the organ. Gorgeous.

[@paulcaswell2813]

She is superb here.

Such a majestic organ. My Dad would have loved to play this magnificent organ. He was the Dean of the American Guild of Organists.

[@hervedupre7894]

What a splendour ! And this cornetto sounding like a trumpet 😮 👏🤩

[@UkuleleSioni]

This has to be the most beautiful sounding organ I have ever heard. And all the musicians (and the music) are stellar-but especially the cornetto/recorder player. Hope to travel to Denmark to hear such a performance live some day. Thank you so much for posting.

Wonderful music on wonderful instruments! I love this!

[@ricardollorente]

A gorgeous organ and gorgeous music, thanks for sharing them with us!

[@jollyzekkariya]

The bass of these pedals is incredible

[@josemiguelplanton4613]

Qué barbaridad!!! Debe de ser el instrumento musical más bonito del planeta 🌍❤❤❤

[@deltron7859]

Superbly performed and recorded, lower octaves are sonically excellent 👍

[@ernestoezequielmarmol4227]

¡Bellísimo! ¡Muchas gracias!

[@peteverhelst2088]

Fantastic

[@MarkHarmer]

Quite apart from the wonderful instruments and playing, this is an absolutely beautiful recording! Are there details of that?

[@paulcaswell2813]

Magnificent upload :-)

[@robertofalconeviolin]

Thank you :)

[@paulcaswell2813]

@@robertofalconeviolin One quick question though: why wasn't the Bux taken in its original form - to hear it purely on the Compenius would have been a thrill indeed ;-)

[@bentjensen3841]

Smukt!

MAGNÍFICO

That organ is centuries older than my whole country.

[@gerhardrohne2261]

the amplitude and true character of this organ is much better heard on the video of Compenius organ "tormus 1! 2013"...

[@bakedbean37]

Beautiful artistry all round. Sullied only by contemplation of the hideous inequity and brutality involved in producing such garishly opulent displays of vast amounts of extracted wealth. At least we've banned ivory. So that's good.

Dumb.

after listening to a beautifully cd recorded at this organ i found this video, a very nice organ with a very nice sound to it, even the bass notes sound very deep in this recording, what would be the scaling on the pipes?

[@fnersch3367]

Voicing at low pressure is the solution. Well made small organs have incredible resonance & presence. This instrument is perfectly preserved and is not restored. It gets cleaned and re-leathered on demand only. Owned by one family only.

[@soundguydon]

A beautiful organ indeed -- I wish there had been more information about the organ, a bit of talk about the ins and outs of it, etc... But otherwise beautiful... I do have a question though: What is that instrument called that the lady was playing?I don't think I've ever seen one.

[@marcelobrunorodrigues7630]

If you mean the reed instrument, it's a cornetto or cornet à bouquin whose timbre motivated the organ builders to conceive the homonym stop that usually consists of Bourdon 8, Prestant 4, Nazard 2 ⅔, Doublette 2 and Tiercé 1 ⅗. The first time I saw and listened to it was during the performance of Monteverdi's opera Orpheus in Cologne, Germany, performed by students of the local music university.

[@soundguydon]

@@marcelobrunorodrigues7630 Thank you!!! I've *heard* one before (obviously), but I never knew one looked like that.. I absolutely love the sound & appreciate you telling me what it is! Thanks again!

[@MarkHarmer]

@@soundguydonjust to correct one thing, the cornetto is not a reed instrument. It has a tiny mouthpiece like a miniature trumpet mouthpiece, and is very difficult to play well. This is amazing playing!

[@soundguydon]

@@MarkHarmer Excellent, thank you!

[@MrMarcvus]

Have they done a Hauptwerk sample set on this beautiful instrument? Many organists would buy it, the profits of this could be used to fund the preservation of this beautiful instrument!

[@alcyonecrucis]

What software is that ?

[@MarkHarmer]

@@alcyonecrucisit uses a comprehensive set of recordings of the pipes, mechanism and room, allowing you to play all the stops and combine them as you would if you were playing it for real. It can also include the mechanical noises and mimic the effect of the fullness of the wind reservoir on the pipes, and captures the acoustic of the room it’s in so you can decide whether you are listening from near it (playing position) or in the room at various distances.

[@gerhardrohne2261]

of course,"made in germany"

What is the piece during the opening credits?
