Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Ouvertüre zu Le Nozze di Figaro auf der Britannic-Orgel
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 жов 2024
- «Wie von Geisterhand» spielen die zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts entwickelten Welte-Klaviere oder Welte-Philharmonie-Orgeln. Die Hochschule der Künste Bern und die Hochschule für Technik und Informatik der Berner Fachhochschule beschäftigen sich mittlerweile in einer ganzen Projekt-Serie wissenschaftlich mit den Mechanismen dieses Aufnahmesystems, aber auch mit den dadurch ermöglichten Einblicken in Interpretationsweisen vor den beiden Weltkriegen.
In Zusammenarbeit mit dem Museum für Musikautomaten Seewen/SO fand dabei am 10. und 11. März 2013 ein wissenschaftliches Symposium zum Thema «Recording the Soul of Music» statt - ergänzt durch musikalische Einblicke aus der Zeit um 1900 unter dem Titel «Music minus one».
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Ouvertüre zu «Le Nozze di Figaro» (1786)
Arrangement für Orgel von Franz Xaver Franz
(Welte-Philharmonie Nr. 421)

This is the very first pipe organ designed and built to be installed on an ocean liner - Titanic's youngest sister, Britannic!
How wonderful to finally hear her voice!!
Had Britannic survived World War I, she would most certainly would have been the envy of all the world's passenger steamer companies!
Baldiplayer1912O he she "had she survived ww1" meaning he knew she sank
If she did, she’d probably survive to this day but look like a modern ocean liner and probably only have 1-2 funnels
@@oreo3740: No, she would have gone to the scrappers in the 30s, just like her contemporaries.
She wouldn’t be what everyone talked about. She was just as large as her sisters but the next ‘biggest ocean liner’ would have already been built in 1913
@@JWRogersPS maybe someone would have bought her and kept her docked next to the nomadic
It's fascinating that it spent almost 40 years in the museum before it was discovered to be the Britannic's missing organ.
This pipe organ is truly one of a kind and it sounds amazing and I wouldn't have a doubt in my mind if Britannic survived the war, her passengers would just been in astonished and would have rival any ocean liner of the day.
It would make Olympic and Titanic look like a joke.
@@explorationandhistorywithethan pretty much
Her first class passengers would have thought it a great novelty. Astonished? I don’t think so. The Aeolian Company, the largest maker of residential pipe organs in the world, had been supplying the Gilded Age rich with pipe organs for their mansions for years by the time Britannic was launched. Joseph E Widener ordered an Aeolian pipe organ in 1909 for the family’s mansion, Lynnewood Hall. Joseph’s brother, George D Widener, died in the Titanic disaster in 1912, along with George’s son, Harry. As for 2nd or 3rd class, they might have heard the Welte pipe organ at a distance, but they would never have seen it. Cheers
Pretty much and would been amazing to hear that
Hearing this magnificent instrument as you cruise the North Atlantic in Britannic's luxurious accommodation's
An experience that never way
A wonderful bit of organ/maritime history. So interesting to learn about this!
Lucky the organ doesn’t lay at the sea like the HMHS Britannic
Its lucky that as much of the ships furnishings and finishes still exist today. Most were removed when she was converted into a hospital ship. there are homes across the UK that have her paneling and woodwork
Play my heart will go on. On this organ
It's nice to see a piece of the Titanic history around this long, the Britannic sunk in the Mediterranean, and we all know what happened to the RMS Titanic, and for some god-awful reason the RMS Olympic was sold for scrap instead of actually preserved.
Can you imagine if the RMS Olympic was preserved the type of restoration project that would have been by the same people who owned the Titanic museum at the Harland and Wolff shipyards. The amount of money donated would have kept the Harland and Wolff Shipyard from going out of business, and would have meant that the RMS Olympic would have been restored at the same yard that built her which would have been massive for a lot of history buffs, and would have been a big deal internationally.
Actually there were plans to convert her into a French hotel but sadly the idea like Olympic was scrapped
Can someone play Pomp and Circumstance March No. 4 in this?
The sound, much like Titanic's music, was meant to drift through various decks up and down the grand staircase. Sort of like Muzak of the era! This seems a bit overpowering, though.
Safe to say I wouldn't want a cabin anywhere near this thing.
Mikosch2 It obviously wouldn’t be used at night. 🤦♂️ Only for morning and evening.
@@gabrielalvarado7849 Well that's good, but even then. Neighbours turning up their music too much isn't fun any time of day, why should it be different with that organ. :D
Mikosch2 Because people would not be at they cabins during day. They would be using different First Class amenities.
@@Quasihamster because that organ requires a talent to play. anyone can blast funky town through a bluetooth speaker.
her voice is beautiful isn't it
They always say playing a pipe organ is literally like playing the building or structure it is housed in. So if this beautiful instrument was installed on Britannic then essentially you would be playing her.
How loud is that organ Realy i want hear that
how sounds this organ with all this renks or registers i want to hear that
There’s no way that fit into the wall, were the two smaller parts added later?
Possibly, in Britannic POTM, the Organ pipes on the edges are by the coner of the wall. Its likely it was installed somewhere else before where it is now.
What I had said previously is wrong. The organ is exactly the right size, it would've fit into it's case on the Britannic.
Is there anymore videos of this organ?
There is a whole Playlist of Volume 1, just search "Britannic Organ".
Indeed, there are even 12 volumes of music played on the Britannic Organ - please just search for "Britannic Organ".
Why they didn't play my heart will go on on this organ
Let’s play Sleeping Sun
