Bach D minor Fugue (BVM 565). Performed by Frank Perko, III
Frank Perko, III gives a thrilling performance of Bach's D minor Fugue on the Rodgers 3-manual digital organ at the Ancient Spanish Monastery in North Miami Beach, Florida.
The instrument was sold, designed, and installed by Central Music to the requirements specified by Father Gregory Mansfield and Mr. Perko who serves as the Music Director of the church.
The gothic stone building offered no discrete locations for audio equipment, so a decorative organ case with facade pipes was built to house it all.
This Rodgers organ features:
3-manuals
32-note pedalboard (built to American Guild of Organists specifications)
39-stops
Built-in library of instantly-available additional organ and orchestral voices
Much, much more!

    Amazing sound and performance. It takes me right back to music school 50 years ago. My goal for 2021 now is to dig this out and rework this piece on the Rodgers 3 manual I play at St. Luke's UMC in St. Petersburg.

    This kind of craftsmanship is becoming increasingly rare in this modern world. It is really nice to see this kind of care and superb workmanship utilised to restore an irreplaceable treasure. Thanks to F. Ruffatti, a firm that I have always admired, for their precision and patience.

    What I find amazing is the fact that an instrument so complex could only be made in the Western world. Even the ancient Chinese or Japanese cultures, with thousands of years of exquisite architecture, don't have any instrument that's remotely similar to the organ.

    Holy Cow, What a great vidieo. Years ago, this organisto just assumed that pipe organ building would soon be a dead, lost art....too expensive...too labor intensive. 10- 20 hours per note! ???? OMG very thankful I was wrong. Perhaps on one of the Star Trek future movies, they'll feature some labor intensive artistic craftsmanship... like building Chippendale tall chests.

    Fantastic presentation, great to see such craftsmanship at work. I was wondering, how sustainable is your tree procurement from Africa, do you undertake replanting?

    • @centralmusicinc.7086
      @centralmusicinc.7086 6 років тому

      Thank you David. The mahogany Ruffatti uses is FSC certified for sustainability. Great question. Mahogany is the most stable species of wood against warping, and Ruffatti uses the best variety (Sipo), has the logs quarter-sawn, and then naturally seasons the lumber for 5 years before it is used in organ production.

    • @centralmusicinc.7086
      @centralmusicinc.7086 6 років тому

      Absolutely! All of the wood used in the making of these fabulous instruments is FSC certified.

    A remarkable project by a remarkable organ builder. I'm very favourably impressed with this builders dedication to the art of organ building. I confess, I've attempted to tune and service on Italian built pipe organ and was thoroughly disgusted with the instrument after 2-3 hours work. That experience led me to believe all Italian pipe organs were terrible, which was, of course, a ridiculous and prejudicial conclusion. The Ruffatti Br.'s have changed my mind in a convincing manner. Thank you for producing the video and sharing. I can't help but notice at 9:00 the pipe builder beating the pipe metal around the mandrel and the lively acoustics in the room accentuating the sound. After a days work of this nature I'd think the effect on the ears would not be good. I'm very conscious of the effects of acoustics and I would also think organ builders would too. If it were up to me (imagine that!) I'd be tempted to "kill" the acoustics in such a room where incessant tapping from a number of pipe makers could induce irritability or stress among the craftsmen.

      A.G. M. We're so happy you enjoyed the video. Your observation of the noise in the pipe shop is a good one! I believe some dampening measures have been made. Also, many of the manufacturing staff now wear noise controlling headphones like those you might find at a gun range.
