There are some recordings that completely change your perspective on organs, and this is one of them. This is the perfect synergy of a small but very, very cleverly designed organ, and an exceptionally thoughtful organist of the utmost creativity. It is - by far and away - the best demonstration I've ever heard of how much can be achieved with only small resources, when a very clever builder and a very clever organist conspire. As a listener, I find myself completely gripped by it; this is the sort of stuff that should inspire new generations of organists.
Beautifully written. This is what really marks Sietze de Vries: he improvises by listening to and really understanding the organ. He can do so much with so little. Perfect example, which impressed me very much is this improvisation on 1 manual, 1 stop: th-cam.com/video/bV8P9Hf56Ws/w-d-xo.htmlsi=V5NAVQJG7m2nKeqN
13:08 That is crazy! I don't think I would have thought of/attempted to use a quint like this. Sounds beautiful.

Nailed it on the head. Sorts the Men from the Boys.
What’s the temperament? It sounds like a circulating “well” temperament, with subtly different colours for each triad.
It is fantastic being able to see you publishing 'organ hunting' videos. Thank you very much and carry on.
Thanks for a great demo! Beautiful Orhan. Great that it is kept in good condition. Check out "The Schoirlin Organ in Josered" from years ago.
