I think I like the romantic organs of the 19th and early 20th century the most, also fox example organ in Košice-Myslava. They have many subtle registers that can be used very well in the liturgy. Organ in the Cathedral of St. Elizabeth has part of the pipes preserved from 1896, so I also like to play this instrument.
@@FrantisekBeer I agree with you on the 19th/early 20th century! I'm not fond of reeds, and very soft strings I don't hear well, I'm mostly a flute stop person- melodia, flute triangulare, stopped diapason, open diapason etc and I think the older organs sound best. The 3 manual organ in the Cathedral of St. Elizabeth has a LOT of power! almost too much, but of course we here are hearing it over electronic devices- computers and speakers, and speakers don't handle a lot of bass very well, so over the speakers it would not sound as "clear" and distinct as it would in the room. I think the smaller one manual organs you play and record sound the best, the one in this video by Testiverek at St Bartolomeja sounds especially good and even with the one manual and limited number of stops it fills the room very well and it seems they keep it well maintained too! I like the heroic sounding introduction you did in this video before leading into the actual hymn!
Great stuff :)
Thank you!

Frantisek- out of the various organs in your videos, which one is your favorite, and why?
