Kirche und Orgel sind sehr schön. 👌👌👌

[@PaulFey]

Dankeschön 😀

[@bradycall1889]

You're my favorite organist. Videos like these are the reasons why.

[@sovereign254]

You always know it's a special time when you get to play a Thuringian organ with it's lead-heavy, super third-y timbre. Most organs now use more tin in the alloy than lead, but the warmth and depth of tone you get when you have mostly-lead or purely-lead pipes is completely underrated.

[@PaulFey]

So true!! Thank you so much for watching 😀

[@brucecornely9239]

Gee.... whodathunkit? Trumpet with Tremulant. Creative and refreshing. You do romantic really well. Thanks more!

[@howardbaitcher5464]

Thanks Paul. It is indeed a beautiful instrument.

[@mattrehm8612]

Absolutely beyond incredible. They sure knew what they were doing all those years ago!

[@Quince828]

What a wonderful and clear sounding instrument!

[@davidwerth9697]

Thank you for demonstrating this organ Paul!

[@PaulFey]

Thank you for watching, David!! 😀

[@woodmason]

Fantastic to hear you play this wonderful organ. What a marvelous tone.

Wonderful, very great, the sounds marvelous, bravo Paul i am very happy to 10 instruments, merci...... Philippe Dubois de Caen en Normandie France

I looked up "Trost Organ" after watching this to get some history. I noted several comments mentioned Hauptwerk recording. An article I found said the 1730 Trost Organ in Waltershausen was recorded for Hauptwerk 3 in 2008. (So, you may be able to treat yourself to your own home Trost Organ). From Chicago, U.S.A.

[@PaulFey]

Yes, thats true!! I‘ve reviewed that sampleset many years ago, but never got the full version 😀

[@lisaschroy1578]

Beautiful sounding organ

[@chrisgunther6847]

Große Bewunderung für dieses Instrument. 👏👌👍🏻

[@SchoonHof]

THANK YOU PAUL !!!!SIMPLY FANTASTIC !!! Hope to hear more .....?❤❤❤❤

[@PaulFey]

Thank you so much!! Oh yes, there will be more 😀

[@willg1604]

Very nice and interesting instrument!

[@SeanNCraleigh]

I really enjoy hearing your live demonstrations of these very special historic instruments. This organ has a wonderful sound and I enjoy hearing the Werckmeister temperament. For me, this is the essence of true pipe organ voicing. This was a great video, Paul. Thank you !

[@Michi-e7d]

Na was soll ich wieder schreiben, auf bayerisch Vergelts Gott für dein Spiel, er möge dich lange mit Erfolg segnen und weiterhin eine Bereicherung für die "Orgelwelt" sein

[@PaulFey]

Vielen herzlichen Dank!!

[@Tom-Lahaye]

This is the kind of sound I love so much, warm and mellow, the 4' flute with tremulant is wonderful, and so are the trumpets which have, I assume, relatively short cones which gives this regal like sound. The church building itself supports the sound with just the right amount of reverb.

[@brucecornely9239]

Your demonstrations are brief, to the point and, above all, musical and enjoyable. Many times when you demonstrate 4' stops I think it would be interest to hear them played at unison pitch -- the 4 Gemshorn, for example. I enjoy your demonstrations, narrative and playing, very much. Please keep them coming. Also would like to hear more of your improvisation. Many thanks.

[@peternaryd_operasinger]

Absolutely amazing Paul! Thank you for a brilliant presentation and performance!😁👍👏👏👏

[@charlessiegler6303]

I agree Peter. This was an amazing demo. Hope we hear Paul play Trost in Altenburg/Waltershausen

[@peternaryd_operasinger]

@@charlessiegler6303 Great to hear Charles! Yes let's hope so!😁👍👍

[@HorstB.-nf6nd]

Traumhafte Orgel 👍👌👏

[@matthieubazile3350]

A great Baroque organ! A great variety of color available for its size. Great demonstration as always!

[@bobbyhendley3084]

Seriously Paul, you simply must pressure Richard McVeigh to get onto the project of recording this into a Hauptwerk stereo or surround sound edition ASAP! It’s just too important to not get it done while it still is possible.

[@altaroux1415]

Impressive organ. Outstanding talent and most beautiful to my ear. I love listening to you playing organ, Paul. Let them come! ❤

[@PaulFey]

Thank you so much for watching!! 😀

[@RoydenWilkinson]

Dear Paul, that organ is most intriguing in sound. It’s a very interesting sound. It has a boldness and yet a very musical sound. You always bring out the best of whatever you’re playing on. I truly love the sound of that organ. There’s a lot of body to the different family of stops whether reeds, principals ,strings or flutes. The ensemble is fantastic. How exciting to listen to. I can imagine how exciting it is for you to play it, because it’s exciting for me to listen to you demonstrate and play it! 😊. Thank you so much for putting your heart into these wonderful videos!! ❤. You’re contagious, my friend. Bless you, Royden

[@padreevandrocalvoso1958]

Parabéns, Paul. Obrigado por nos mostrar órgãos tão lindos. Obrigado também pelas músicas tocadas. Deus te abençoe.

[@gdebergh7875]

Your demonstration was very interesting, sounds, improvisation aswell and your fell playins this instrument ❤ Thank you, dear Paul, for sharing with us yours discoverts 👌👌

[@05Forenza]

What an incredible organ! Doesn't have a huge number of stops, but the tone gives it more than enough.

[@kopfhorer5742]

Super schöne Orgel !!!!!

[@PaulFey]

Vielen Dank 😀

[@stepps511]

Bravo, Paul! What a fascinating instrument. I so appreciate your "tour" of the stops and demonstrating the combinations, as well as the tutti at the very end! The fact that this is but one of a few remaining instruments makes this all the more special. Thanks so much!

[@opensourceguy730]

Marvelous, Paul!

[@Elisabeth-r2p]

Sehr schön. Danke für die Demo dieser schönen Orgel.

[@PaulFey]

Danke für das Lob!

[@orgelschlager1159]

Fantastisch Paul Fey 🙏👌👍

[@ronberndt8471]

That this is deemed "Thuringian" tonally is so significant. The sound of this organ is so balanced, so present, and so dominating, that it is truly unique, but being "Thuringian" makes it the true essence of being German if that designation is indeed accurate. Thuringian culture was subsumed by the dominant Saxons, but is a pre-Roman cultural construct set, and at the true core of what being German is - even if Bohemia, Moravia, and other regions once dominated by this culture have been purged of their true heritage in modern times.

[@gerhardflink5599]

Hallo Paul, sehr schön vorgestellt. Ich wünsche Dir ein schönes Wochenende. Liebe Grüße aus Castrop-Rauxel. Gerd

[@Green4321]

I appreciate your enthusiasm in demonstrating this organ. It was also enjoyable to hear the rattle of the trackers!

[@johnsantrizos7638]

Viele dank für dieses Video! I've been waiting to hear a demo of this organ for a long time! These sounds are making me sentimental for central Germany.

[@charlessiegler6303]

I can’t wait to hear what this organ of Trost sounds like. If they keep it the way it is in its original condition, it will have more years of playing music on it. That’s why the organ is the king of instruments, and the organ of Trost is legendary.

[@nilsvanvelzen]

Thanks for showing us this beautiful organ. Very warm sounding registers, nice sound!

[@blasebalg3686]

Das ist einmalig schön. Vielen herzlichen Dank für die Demo. 👍👌👏🙏

Volle Begeisterung. Danke. 👏👏👏

[@paulbombardier8722]

To our modern ears it has an unusual sound, as you remarked, third heavy. It’s a shame there are so few left!

[@steffensindermann3220]

Hallo, Guten Tag, lieber Paul. Diese Orgel scheint nicht sehr groß, sie klingt aber mächtig! Super. Sie hört sich gut an, vor allem das Klangvolumen ist beeindruckend, besonders im Pedal sind die Bässe gut zu hören. Gefällt mir sehr gut. Danke für die Demo von dir. Liebe und herzliche Grüße, einen schönen Freitag und einen angenehmen Start in das Wochenende, sendet dir Steffen. 15:58

[@EElgar1857]

I love this sound! I've heard the Walthershausen Trost, but not this one. Great demo, as always! 😁🐧

[@PaulFey]

Thank you so much for watching! Waltershausen is the larger sister! 😀

[@bobbyhendley3084]

This needs to be captured into Hauptwerk before something happens to it and that becomes impossible! Even if time eventually robs us of the original in working form, we need to be able to still hear its true unaltered form for posterity. Then we can truly hear the music of its timeframe the way all of it’s live audiences and organists did.

[@pierrelauwers8719]

Electronics are obsolete after six months, while organs can last several centuries. They need to be cared, not concurrenced by electronic copies.

[@bobbyhendley3084]

@@pierrelauwers8719 yes, but in time that original copy will simply disappear and there will be no means of knowing what it truly sounded like in that space without a high tech form digitally captured. And once the capture is digital, it can be preserved thru unlimited updates to technology.

[@drdylanman]

Another great demonstration video! Where are the other TROST organs located? How does the tuning/temperament on this organ compare to one that is in "standard" tuning? That is, if you play a C on this organ, would it sound flatter or sharper? Someone once explained about temperaments and how they serve different types of music and keys better than others, but I still don't get it. haha It seems like every different key should be playable when its tuned to A=440. Sorry for the ramble. haha It was still an enjoyable video and maybe you'll do the same on some of the remaining TROST instruments. 🙂

[@danielj9042]

Would love to see you in concert. I love the sound of the mechanical action while playing. Where I went to grad school, my instructor taught us to play in a way that would diminish the mechanical action sound. Thank god I’m out of school and can play the way I want now 😊

[@ksbear2]

Actually there are some one-off or single remaining examples of organs as well. I just watched a video on a 1834 Joseph Alley Organ recently (in Massachussetts). But this was also fun to watch.

[@padreevandrocalvoso1958]

E esses raios que rodopiam e tocam sinos... Isso é demais!

You must have been practicing Christmas music recently.

[@SimonSaysNL]

Really nice video! Only one question; What is the drawknob in the middle above the console?

[@swaraneindra]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@Nayte08]

I’ve been to a church that had a pipe organ made out of bamboo, it’s somewhere in the Philippines and I bet that is a rare breed of organ as well 😂 Would love to see you play that

[@funtclaps77]

There is only one Joseph Alley instrument remaining, and it was just featured in Organ Media Foundation’s latest video.

[@richardjosephnovak]

Less than five, wouldn't that be four?

[@jonwelch686]

Curious it’s definitely not A=440 or 442. Is it 445? Also the key compass is definitely unique.

[@gambe96]

It doesn't seem to fit the acoustic as well as Waltershausen and Altenburg do... or maybe it hasn't been restored as well ?

[@vidselih]

Waltershausen is actually acoustically a very dry place, the circular shape of the church also doesn't help in this respect. Quite a "downer" for an exceptional instrument. Due to dry acoustics it is also very unforgiving for the organist. Check the Trost/Waltershausen uploads on the contrabombarde concert hall. Among the recordings if I remember correctly there is an upload where some extra digital reverb to simulate more of a live acoustic place. And I feel that it suits the organ perfectly. I'cant say much about Altenburg but I think it's a bit less dry.

[@gambe96]

@@vidselih An organ can be in a dry acoustic and still sound very well. Waltershausen handle its acoustic very well, same for Altenburg. Altenbruch, Lüdingworth, st. Guilhem le désert are all organs in very dry acoustics that fit them perfectly. It's a question of how well it was voiced for the acoustic it's in, how well it's "tailored". This organ does not sound very well tailored to my ears.

[@vidselih]

@@gambe96 Agree, totaly. Altenbruch is very very cool. But nevertheless Waltershausen sounds too dry to me.

[@davidjordan2880]

Unusual keyboard, reversed the colours.
