- St. Vitus Cathedral has two organ casings. The upper facade belonged to a baroque organ, which was built in 1765 by Anton Gartner. It had 40 stops on 3 manuals and pedals. This case is purely decorative. The associated work was transported around 1909 and was lost.
The lower neoclassical casing contains today's main organ. It was built by Josef Melzer in the years 1929-31. A general overhaul was carried out by the organ builder Brachtl a Kánský (1999-2001). The rather modest instrument in relation to the large church space has 58 stops on 3 manuals and pedals, 4,475 pipes in total. The action is purely pneumatic. With a large number of basic pipes (flutes and principals) and little reeds (trumpets), the instrument has a rather gentle tone - a typical feature of post-Romantic organs.
Magnificent performance, heavenly beautiful 🙏🙏🙏💖
My absolute favourite, thx Diane ❤❤❤❤
I remember watching Joy of Music as a child in the 70s. I new that I loved pipe organ music from a young age but was never musically inclined enough to play with both hands and both feet at the same time. I have such admiration for talented organists! Now in my 60s I am thrilled to find this channel where I can relieve my childhood and be blessed by this rich music!
Incredible as always, a Godly woman
I love this!!!❤❤❤❤❤the perfect rhythm the descendeng pedal and closing of the swell!!! This is pure joy .......wonder if Dianes middle name is joy? The organ is the first sequencer!!!Nothing like it! Bravo Diane!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤
Ryan, it was a mess compared to what Diane is well capable of 😢
@@johnmilburn5715 thank you-perhaps the acoustics played into the muddle? Appreciate the feedback!! Thanks again!
Impressive technique, but waaaay too fast. The subtle chordal writing was almost completely absent, there were rhythmic errors and notation ones too. Not her finest moment, I fear 😢
