We are back at the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus Church in Rakovski (Bulgaria) to test the plenum's voicing. Great, Swell and Choir coupled. Whenever I finish voicing the plenum, I like to test it with Duruflé's splendid harmonisation of the Gregorian Veni Creator Spiritus. Enjoy! Paolo

Back in February, the parish priest of the church of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus in Rakovski (Bulgaria) wrote to me asking for some advice. He had to replace the organ in his church and, inspired by some of the videos I published, wanted to buy a Viscount instrument. Therefore, we chose the most appropriate organ for the church's needs and designed the audio installation. Once the organ was ...

Here we go with the second video recorded with my new Viscount Cantorum Duo PLUS, equipped with the new Physis Plus technology. I think there is still some voicing refinement to be done, but overall, I already like what I hear. The new editor allows many more voicing possibilities, and I still need to get acquainted with all the new functions. The piece I have chosen to give a brief tour of the...

To wish you all a very merry Christmas, in this Holy Night, I am playing Phil Lehenbauer's setting of "Away in a Manger (Cradle Song)". I love the music written by Phil because it has an exceptionally unique taste. I decided to accompany the beautiful music with some paintings of the Nativity done by some of the most famous Italian painters, with a Dutch special guest. In order of appearance, t...

Samuel Metzger is an American organist and composer. He served as senior organist at Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church (PCA), Fort Lauderdale, FL (successor of Diane Bish, I presume), and he is currently organist & music associate at Covenant Presbyterian Church (PCA) in Nashville, TN. I recently bought a collection of hymns that he arranged, and today I am playing one based on the popular "O com...

A short video of the piece played at the conclusion of the Holy Mass for the dedication and blessing of the organ at the church of St. Peter and Paul in Focsani (RO). Paul Fey’s fanfare on “Holy God We Praise Thy Name” has been used as prelude and postlude, the hymn being sung in between by the local choir. (Shot with a mobile phone) Enjoy! 😊

We are, once more, at St. Peter and Paul Roman Catholic church of Focsani (Romania), where I have just finished voicing the Viscount Sonus 60 that was previously at my place. I am amazed by the performance of the small audio system I have installed to amplify the organ, which perfectly fills the church and leads the congregational singing with command. The piece I play today is the Prelude on t...

Here we go with the second video about the ongoing voicing of the Sonus 60 in the Catholic Church of Focsani (Romania). I have finished voicing all the stops, although some further refinement is still needed. I could not help but pull out all the stops and listen to Tutti which, in my opinion, is the ultimate measure of a digital organ's sonic credibility. The organ is amplified with six passiv...
