Excellent video of a fine instrument. There are a number of fine Spanish organs in good condition these days. Great to see the unusual features of this organ which are typical of the 18th century Iberian organ. The two 18th century organs at Segovia Cathedral (built by the Echevarría family) are particularly outstanding and worth visiting, as are the "Emperador" and Verdalonga organs at Toledo Cathedral.
A fascinating comprehensive demonstration, showing how vastly different were national preferences of the time as this organ is an exact contemporary of the Muller organ of St Bavo and similar works of Batz and Hinz of the Netherlands.
Just love the sound of Italian and Spanish baroque organs! I wish someone would do a Hauptwerk sample set of this beautiful organ 😊 Thank you for such a great video of this organ!
Gracias Balint por este nuevo vídeo en el precioso órgano de Santoyo. Es verdad que en España hay algunos instrumentos históricos en buen estado, pero aún los hay más en estado de olvido y abandono. Testimonios como éste ayudan a crear conciencia de este importante patrimonio, lo que merece un enorme agradecimiento en nombre de los que amamos el órgano. Espero que también pudieras hacer una demo en Támara y que puedas volver pronto a España.
The Mallorcan organ builder Jordi Bosch, who also built this instrument, is considered by organologists to be the inventor of horizontal trumpet stops, among other things.
What a magnificent organ, those reeds give the sound such a majestic appearance, also pretty loud. How was it sitting with your head right under these trumpets?
Bass-driven harmony started to emerge in Spain and Italy significantly later than in Germany or the Netherlands partly because of the lack of 16’ organ pipes
Imagine building an instrument, which almost 300 years later, gives people (like me) chills !

Now there is an instrument full of clear sound. I love it
The voicing of this organ is breathtakingly impressive!
9:59 "It's just so cool!"
It really is! Nice job!!!
That is the most beautiful organ I have ever seen or heard. What a wonderful warm rich tone, and the reeds are astounding!
What’s wonderful about these reeds is their tone and clarity!
What a beautiful demonstration of an instrument lacking pedals. The voice is truly amazing.
Couldn't agree more!

Bravo. Bravissimo. Magníficos órganos históricos en España. 👏👏👏👏👏
Having seen organs throughout spain, it is nice to finally hear one in use. Thanks for the treat
Afortunadamente se han reconstruído muchos y suele haber conciertos en muchas iglesias.
This is a tremendous demonstration, Balint. Thank you.
What an amazing sound for a single Keyboard instrument. The Pedal slides in sound is like a waveform enhancer found on some synthesizers.
Yeah. What an incredible feature to find in a mechanical instrument, from nearly three hundred years ago...!

I almost got to try Támara, but the church was closed on Mondays and they wouldn’t open it.
Gracias Balint. Triste y lamentable. Cosas que pasan en España y que no deberían pasar.😞 @@bkarosi
well THAT got my attention!
Brilliant to hear this organ, and in your hands!
Beautiful church and organ! Interesting video too.
Lovely! 💜
Wow! Pedal sliders is so interesting solution! I never seen it before
No where in the earth emanates such a sound.
Gyönyörű!
Very Welcome to Spain, Máster!
Bravissimo mister Balint.😊🙂
it takes a genious to play this organ. OMG such sound.
Crikey! Those Spanish reeds are quite something.
You gotta love those trumpets, man.
Bellissimo strumento nel paese dove si è sviluppato l'organo a canne.
Thankyou for this. ❤
that sound just gives me chills down my spine :D
when the reeds are activated :D
Is the batalla improvized or no ?
Loved the demo, I hope you can come to Portugal one day to try the organ in the church of São vicente de Fora
Is there a historical reason why Spanish organ builders were so into these really intense trumpets?

It was not as loud as some modern organs’ chamades
indeed, but there is a "clang" to the old ones. Kind-of like the Chicago Symphony brass of the 60s-80s
What a magnificent organ, those reeds give the sound such a majestic appearance, also pretty loud.
How was it sitting with your head right under these trumpets?
I enjoy very much the didactical way you show the organ stops, Balint. May I know who was/were your organ master(s)?
I have studied with Lionel Rogg, James David Christie and János Pálúr
Thanks for making this video
Excellent video, next time I hope you are able to demonstrate the levers and pedals, which add so much character to the Spanish organs!
Can anyone explain what does number 13 in Flautado 13 (and many spanish stops) refer to?
I think that "13" represents an 8' stop. Unit of measurement ?
"13 Palmos" or 13 Palms, = 8 foot stop "26 Palmos" = 16 foot stop etc. "Lleno," or "Full", simply means mixture.
@@hismajestysmen Thank you. I appreciate the explanation.
I wonder, since there are no pedals or other strong bass voices, did the Spanish bring in other instruments to support the basses?
Bass-driven harmony started to emerge in Spain and Italy significantly later than in Germany or the Netherlands partly because of the lack of 16’ organ pipes
Do you know what temperament this organ has? It sounds very “mild”, yet the major thirds still ring nicely. Maybe a circulating temperament?
Yes, Vallotti
❤❤
It looks like there's only a single manual and no pedals. Is that typical for Spanish organs?
Yes, just like Italian organs but with lots of horizontal reeds
my very soul struggles to stay together when i hear it
🎹🎼🎵🎶
Does anybody know good recordings of this organ or another spanish organ from around that time? And which composers composed for these instruments?
You should listen to Juan Cabanilla's music
Különleges.
God help me.
Лучше бы на испанском!!
Love the way Spanish reeds SNARL 😄
