I knew that this was an important organ, Meister Karosi, but because of its restrained appearance, does not command an immediate "presence" in the mind of the viewer. But your masterly demonstration - so very well recorded - dispelled any lingering reservations and showed why Bach himself longed for an organ by Silbermann.
What amazing harmony between all three divisions! Only the old masters knew how to cut off everything unnecessary in order to achieve such harmony. Thank you very, very much, dear Balint!
The sound of every single line of pipes is a masterpiece. The entire church sounds like a harmonic case. You are in the organist's paradise. Thank you for sharing it.
@Tillsammmans: I agree with you. The Schnitger in Hamburg is one of the best organs he ever built. I’m sure there will be a demo in the foreseeable future.
Ich glaube, ich habe Sie am Ende eines Konzerts in Freiberg im Jahr 2019 getroffen, wir haben über den Brand in Notre Dame de Paris gesprochen. Ich hoffe, bald wiederzukommen, um den fabelhaften Orgeln Sachsens zu lauschen. Deins ist großartig.
What a great video. I love seeing all the detailed views. I've listened to countless recordings of this organ for nearly 40 years. It is a true masterpiece. Thank you for all your work on these videos!
Brilliant organ in Freiburg Cathedral. I had the privilege of playing it in 1988, for about an hour or so. German organists are so generous in letting foreigners play their organs, providing one is a professional or at least competent. They are truly blest in having these organs still working and that they weren't bombed in WW2. Merrowyn Deacon 🎵
This was the first virtual organ I bought many decades ago, long before Hauptwerk. The clarity of this organ is astounding. No 250 rank monster can compare to the beauty of this instrument.
Gracias de nuevo Balint. Solo una demostración así es capaz de enseñarnos toda la belleza de colores y matices, de dulzura y de poder de este magnífico instrumento. 👏👏😊
An amazing organ in an amazing acoustic! Everything is voiced perfectly for the room and the organ has such a rich sound. I especially love the French-style reeds! Thanks for this amazing demonstration!
O órgão de tubos é realmente incrível! Vejam, com a utilização do stop "Vox Humana", as parecenças com as vozes de um coro! Não é uma gravação! INCRÍVEL!
I don't know why I didn't receive this notify otherwise I'm already subscibed. Bha YT f**k algorithm. Thank Balint of this demonstration and sharing. Retirn spring could be an invention to help the organist in the past but a risk for a life of instrument! Amazing the low frequency of open/close the tremulant. It was an emotion to play Bach on this masterpiece of story. Have you and all us organists an happy new year fill of music!
c'est une merveille, merci de nous faire écouter tous ces jeux décomposés puis mixés. On perçoit toutes les différences entre la conception et les sonorités françaises et allemandes, c'est vraiment très instructif. Surtout quand vous faites entendre les jeux à la française : cromorne, trompette, voix humaine etc... Je vous soumets le lien d'un enregistrement d'Emmanuel Arakélian, titulaire du célèbre orgue Isnard de St Maximin en France : il joue ici JS Bach sur un orgue récent en imitation de ceux de Gottfried Silbermann, esthétiquement et musicalement. C'est extrêmement plaisant ! ua-cam.com/video/K5mVP295K5Y/v-deo.html
Many years ago I had a "complete" Bach collection on lp. The accompanying literature mentioned one of Silbermann organ cases using up almost the entire organ budget. Would this be that instrument? I noticed the case is quite ornate.
There simply aren’t enough superlatives to describe this beautiful instrument.
Craftsmanship of the old world🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
An absolute fine organ by Silbermann! This is an early Christmas gift. Very glad Albrecht Koch showed you this in Freiberg.
YES
I love the taste of the Musical Offering at the end.

Oh boy. We in the major leagues now! Looking forward to this.
Those might be the most beautiful 8’ principals I’ve ever heard. Thanks for the recording!
They sound like silver...
Just wonderful. Would be a joy to play Baroque repertoire. Amazing it has remained intact.
Three hundred years old, and sounds as good as, or better than, any Bach-style organ built since then.
One cannot beat the bright mixtures & tuning! 😊
And another wow: all the sounds are breathtaking- yet the Oberwerk Principal is to die for ❤
Thanks!
The sound of every single line of pipes is a masterpiece. The entire church sounds like a harmonic case. You are in the organist's paradise. Thank you for sharing it.
KÖSZÖNÖM SZÉPEN!
Such a privilege to play this wonderful Organ. Thank you for your demonstration.
Fantastisch, ik kijk er naar uit.
The Vox Humana" (19'14), it's the most incredible sound i ever have heard on a pipe organ! Incredibly beautiful and realistic!
Your videos amaze me! I learn something new every time. I don't understand how someone can keep a "sound memory" of all the combinations.
Amazing organ, wonderful playing - keep it up!
Outstanding demonstration. Hopefully, your recital be recorded and made available. Thank you for sharing these magnificent instruments with us!
What the pearls of organ world! Both Organist and the instrument !
Absolutely marvellous instrument. I don't have words to describe the emotions this organ is able to create for me.
Thank you for a wonderful demonstration of this magnificent instrument. Especially appreciated as I have next to no chance of ever visiting Freiberg.
Woow, what a great surprise. My dream is still that you do a full demonstration of the Arp Schnitger organ in Hamburg St Jacobi
@Tillsammmans: I agree with you. The Schnitger in Hamburg is one of the best organs he ever built. I’m sure there will be a demo in the foreseeable future.

Thank you for all your work on these videos!
Thank you so very much for demonstrating this incredible organ!! It’s got an extraordinary variety of tone. And what a vast and warm acoustic, too.
The most amazing sounds are when up to 1-2 (or 3) stops are active :)
How precious!
Grazie per queste prove,questo strumento in particolare ha una voce bellissima!
Beautiful organ love the full sound I believe a digital organ builder should hear this organ may change their mind on reverb
Thanks BK & have a great recital. No wonder that this organ is so famous - so much beautiful character & blend ☺️

Freiberg in Sachsen not Freiburg im Breisgau
This was the first virtual organ I bought many decades ago, long before Hauptwerk. The clarity of this organ is astounding. No 250 rank monster can compare to the beauty of this instrument.
Sono considerati universalmente i migliori organi!
very good
First time for me to hear such quick Tremulant
Gracias de nuevo Balint. Solo una demostración así es capaz de enseñarnos toda la belleza de colores y matices, de dulzura y de poder de este magnífico instrumento. 👏👏😊
An amazing organ in an amazing acoustic! Everything is voiced perfectly for the room and the organ has such a rich sound. I especially love the French-style reeds! Thanks for this amazing demonstration!
The action is superb. Thanks very much for your demonstration, Maestro. Merrowyn
Eine der besten Aufnahmen und noch an so einer wunderschönen Orgel ❤
Greetings from Tucson, Arizona USofA
This organ is glorious!
The reed are great. Next stop - Groningen
Your demonstrations of the organ are the best ever

Retirn spring could be an invention to help the organist in the past but a risk for a life of instrument!
Amazing the low frequency of open/close the tremulant.
It was an emotion to play Bach on this masterpiece of story.
Have you and all us organists an happy new year fill of music!
Amazing pedal solo, its very powerfuel when you add some big reeds and mixture, amazing!
Thank you very much for this video and for showing us that incredible instrument. Greetings from Spain.
What a great sounding organ! Over 300 years old. Wow!
Beautiful
It' s one great organ and the church have normal eco , good for to listen music of organ.
What glorious tones! Oh for the opportunity to play this instrument... 🤩
OMG! And this is only the sound from the loudspeakers of my computer. Next destination: Freiberg!
This organ is in a class of its own. Many new Bach organs were molded on it.
Thank you for sharing this!
wow , thanks for the demonstration !
What is the music? It is such a beautiful main theme melody. Thank you for this video
Excellent demonstration thank you
What a beautiful instrument! Only the commercials aRe VERY annoting
I like organ demos played by Balint Karosi😊
Did Bach play this Organ? What City of Germany is located this Organ?
19:13 wow, the Vox Humana sounds like a human choir singing in the background.
Amazing! What is the chorale tune you feature throughout this demo? I think I've played it, but I can't recall what it is.
“Lord thee I love” or “Herzlich lieb”
Wow! The musical timbre of this instrument blows away any modern machine.
The principal here is totally different from other organs.
Suono eccezionale
13:30
How do I nor know about this spectacular instrument? I know; I'm not an organist.
❤

was this organ played by Johann Sebastian Bach ? According to history, Bach inaugurated a Silbermann Organ.
Many years ago I had a "complete" Bach collection on lp. The accompanying literature mentioned one of Silbermann organ cases using up almost the entire organ budget. Would this be that instrument? I noticed the case is quite ornate.
Did JSB play this organ
What is the music?
That vox humana is unearthly
