I do think so. Bless those who learn to play them well.

[@ScorieDivine]

@@ipodbily Quite the opposite. The cost of maintenance, rarity, and required space of a serious organ combined make them entirely inaccessible to most organ players. A lot of them wait on for years, sometimes decades, to get ahold of them. Beautiful organs in beautiful churches are many things but common or expecting the first player to show up. Atheists pursued entire ecclesiastic careers to get their hands on the instrument of their dreams.

There is *nothing* in any other culture than even begins to express music with the clever inventiveness that so magnifies exaltation. From ancient Greece to Bach's Thuringia, the organ has been the king, nay, the world emperor, of instruments! And so the Baroque organ remains, despite all the electronic falderal, supreme.

[@undead.rising]

Most people only know the first piece of Spring, and the last piece of Summer, but for me, Autumn and Winter have always been my favourites!

It IS a heavy organ. I would love to hear this, as magnificently as Mr. Scott played it, on a 1950's Walter Holtkamp 3/54 organ. There aren't many Walter Holtkamps left around these days because of the exorbitant cost of maintaining them, though. Gerry Hancock played one in CIncinnati many years ago. It was wonderful.

[@epincion]

If is true baroque heavy metal you are looking for then listen to recordings on the 1742 Moucherel organ in Albi Cathedral such as this short 1.35 min extract (Frédéric Deschamps joue sa transcription pour orgue de l'Ouverture d'Alcione de Marin Marais en sortie de Messe le dimanche 20 août 2017 à la Cathédrale Sainte-Cécile d'Albi (Tarn-France) Its tuned to the old French baroque temperament and has 3 bombardes (16'): this is the only French Baroque organ to have this. The organ is tuned with 18 ° French tuning fork (LA3 = 392 hz) is heard a tone lower than the current tuning fork around 440 hz. The 16' bombardes sound like modern 32'. kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6PEioFtechgftE&frags=pl%2Cwn

It makes one wonder if Vivaldi (who was, at least officially, a priest) did not actually use the organ while he composed for other instruments, just as a piano is often used. This all sounds so natural and does never become overcrowded by the long reverb, which one would otherwise expect from a piece which does not have to be played in such acoustics.
