- The majestic Te Deum of Jeanne Demessieux,recorded in 1980 by the cathedral organist, Josef Zimmermann. The instrument is the IV/86 Transept Organ, built in 1948 by Klais & updated & expanded intermittently over the following 12 years. In the late 1990's the organ was "re-organized" (no pun intended) & raised about 2 meters to project more sound into this immense room. And in 1998, a III/53 "swallow's nest" organ was installed in the nave -- turning a superb instrument into an amazing one that can generate a virtual avalanche of sound.
I was a choir member at the Cathedral for one year in 1976. I remember Herr Zimmerman very well. The organ was inspiring.
This organ really brings new meaning to the term pulling out all the stops.
I've been listening to this for a while now. I didn't even notice that this was uploaded on my birthday. I love this. :)
Köln's big church organ sounds absolutely overwhelming. You HAVE to have experienced it at least once. It's mighty!
It was indeed. I was in the cathedral during the 2005 World Youth Days, my ribcage was vibrating with the sound of that organ, I'm not joking.
what an amazingly rich sound!!!
Nice photos. I pulled from every source I could find on the internet. It's tough making these things visually interesting, but I keep trying to spread the gospel of organ music. It's a labor of love. Hopefully, your picture-taking is, too ;-)
like so much this!!! and in december i am in Koln!!!!!!!!
This recording was made before the "swallow's nest" organ was installed (in 1998). But yes, I think the swallow's nest (Langhausorgel) is playable from the console of the transept organ (Querhausorgel).
fantastic!!!
This is ONLY the old organ !! Today you can play the old and the new one together !
Awesome!
One of Boenig's CDs includes Karg-Elert's Hommage to Handel. If you want to hear some examples of sevenths and ninths (possibly elevenths), you'll hear them in this piece. The bold voicing of these mutations makes the piece sound pretty wild. I usually go back to listen to them.
This performance is brilliant! But there are organists playing this piece nowadays - there are UA-cam examples of Hugh Potton (opens the piece at a faster tempo) and I'd be surprised if Roberto Bertero and Raúl Prieto Ramírez don't have it in their repertoire.
Nice job. Some of those photos are mine. :-)
@a55b47 You are right. Both Organs can be played from the Querhausorgel on the podest near to the altar.
Yes, both organs are playable on the transept organ's console
But this is only the old "Querhausorgel"
@a55b47
There's one of Sophie Choplin playing it at Saint Sulpice around here somewhere.
Voting for Dr ron Paul
i think this is the speed allowed by the acoustics of the cathedral. my opinion though.
@Organistcomposer21 I don't know if the langhausorgel can be played at the console at the querhausorgel, but I know that a common console exists.
Winfried Bönig, the current (I think) domorganist has 2 STUNNING CD's on the Motette label.
Check the Organ Historical Society web catalog. I've tried putting a link to it in this message, & UA-cam keeps bumping me out.
As I described the 7 cadets above the altar
Can somebody please post more versions of this piece?
Good playing but, I think, too slow. Check out Maxime Patel's playing on the VI/103 organ at Waldsassen where it is played at the speed I think it should be played at.
We had German architecture in montana alot of it owned by governent
Nice photos. Do you have any pieces that you can see you play? Wonderful sound!

An insight into a womans mind :)
hmm, about a week ago, I was in Cologne, with my parents, and was attending the cathedral service. Was quite interesting cathedral, but not my favorite (my favorite cathedral is the one in Dinant, Belgium). I heard this organ music, but couldn't find the name or anything about it. It was played during daylight, about 12 pm. Does anyone know about this organ music by any chance?
MonkTheWorldTree it must've been an improvisation from the organist there
I can't play a lick. I'm an organ-lover, not an organist. The sound for these videos is taken from old, long-out-of-print LP's that I think people might find interesting. The pix are all taken from the internet.
Thank for this! Are both organs controllable from one console?
Yeah they are! The Klais organ from 1948 has the 4-manual main console on which you can also play the younger organ from 1998! It's so amazing to hear this live, the acoustics are just overwhelming:)
(lol 11 years old...)
Have you seen Musichiere70's version @ Waldsassen? It pops up in "Related Videos." (Look to the right-hand side of your screen). That's the only other version I've seen on UA-cam -- perhaps because, as someone said on here, it's a bitch to play. Interestingly, the Waldasassen organ sounds as if it's pitched about a half-step lower than the one in Köln.
It's so beautiful I was in the angels love young women's Christian group studying til people on my facebook page put me in the mentalward warm spring's state of montana
