Exploration of the Janke organ, Bückeburg - Sonus Paradisi, Hauptwerk

- Sonus Paradisi released a new & free (!) sample set today. The Rudolf Janke organ from the Evangelische Stadtkirche, Bückeburg combines North German and Central German elements of the Baroque period. In this video I explore the different possibilities of the instrument. Even some German romantic pieces can work, because of the variety of soft 8' stops. I used a mix of various perspectives (direct, diffuse & rear) during the recording. Sometimes you'll hear a more direct sound and sometimes you'll hear more of the room the organ is in.
Sonus Paradisi shares a generous free demo of this sample set. You can try the complete sample set: Hauptwerk and Oberwerk in all perspectives, Brustwerk and Pedal in two perspectives. The Brunckhorst piece is recorded with only two perspectives (diffuse, rear) to give you an impression.

Beautiful. I really enjoyed the Partita on "Ach was soll ich Sünder machen". Even though I have already commented this on one of your other videos I am really grateful for the specifications that you add on each piece.
Thanks for mentioning that, Storee. For me it's important that the music and the organ/set I play on are central and not me as just a player.
A fantastically beautiful performance. The pieces and the chosen stops can portray the organ very well.✨👏
Thanks, Markus!
Absolutely wonderful Ralph!😁👍👏👏👏👏👏
Bach: "I need to write a long and complicated fugue after also good prelude"
Fischer: "30 seconds will be enough"
Fischer was probably the first true Minimalist: "Less is more".
But seriously, he wrote many small preludes and fugues in his collection Ariadne Musica, very nice to explore.
Bravo Ralph - what a phenomenal demonstration of this new instrument. Thank you for show-casing this spectacular addition to our libraries. Our gratitude to Sonus Paradisi!
Thanks, Jerry! Generous indeed, and a very nice organ and sample set!
I have listened to your demo twice non stop and want to continue listening for many hours. It is so so good. Bravo Ralph!
Thanks very much for your appreciation, Vidas! And enjoy playing this sample set.
Excellent playing! I've got to get the Brunckhorst!
Thanks, Wayne! Yes, that piece is quite wonderful. I've uploaded recently a new recording of it on the big Marcussen, Rotterdam.
I’m catching up on all the content I missed last week and I’m just coming back to this one again. Beautiful sounds, splendid playing and the perfect programme.
Thanks, Fraser! I'm glad you appreciated it.
Thoroughly enjoyed Ralph! A wonderful program and a great way to show off the divisions of the organ and their tone colour. Some pieces I know intimately, some are new to me. So some treats and good old pieces I know well. I especially appreciate your sense of timing. You have a gift for making the music move and come alive. Now how many times have you hit your head on the roof :)
Thanks for taking the time to listen to this video, Mark! It's always quite challenging to make this larger videos, because I want to show some nice facets of the organ/model but also don't want to play all wellknown pieces, so I'm glad you enjoyed the mix. And yes, I've hit the roof many times with head and shoulders ;)
The organ in Bückeburg is not only Janke's biggest organ but also one of his most beautiful instruments which sounds even better in its original location. Very fine presentation with careful registrations and historically informed interpretation.
Thanks, Michael! I wasn't familiar with organ builder Janke before, but this instrument is certainly proof of being very capable of historically informed organ building.
A fabulous demonstration of the wonderful new sample set of the Rudolf Janke organ at Bückeburg produced by Sonus Paradisi, which sounds truly glorious. You present us with an organ recital par excellence, Ralph: bravo! (And how true with the Fischer that 'less is more'!)
Thanks very much, Graham! I'm sure this is the best free sample set available in the market now. So if you're looking for a good transparent organ to play Bach on, this is it.
What a beautiful instrument ! The stops are awesome ! Congratulations for this huge performance ! I remember having heard some of those pieces on your channel, but it's always a pleasure !
Thanks, Remi! Never wrong to put some pieces on the music rack again ;)
Great sample set and what a fantastic introduction from you Ralph
Danke, Markus! You should try it, it won't hurt your wallet ;)
A beautiful new sample set expertly displayed by your superlative playing, Ralph. Bravo!
Thanks, Marcus! The set is certainly recommended!
Great, Ralph! I can't believe I'm watching this now. You certainly did a wonderful job.👍
Thanks! Well, it was real ;)
So well done! Great recording!
Thanks, April!
Fantastic Ralph! I browsed thru your examples. Sounds fantastic! And very very affordable! I think I gonna grab it!
Thanks, Rien! I'm sure you will like it. I almost played some Peyer on it, but hadn't enough time before the release of the set. So I'll leave that one to you ;)
Excellent Songs.
Beautiful music and Excellent played 🎹🎶👏
Thanks, Lluis.
Great sampleset! I think I will also get it soon ;-) Great programme and playing! Well done, Ralph!
Thanks, Ralf! You should.
Superb playing! Perfect understanding of the language of this era of music.
Thanks!
Prachtig!!! This is yet another brilliant display of your truly incredible talent and a superb demonstration of this quite lovely new sample set. I think it is just what my collection is missing! Thank you, Ralph, for sharing this splendid opportunity to hear many of the capabilities of this organ while hearing some lesser known works so highly appropriate for the particular organ.
Thanks, Christopher! I'm pretty sure you will like this set. Even after recording all this music, I enjoy playing on it more and more. A perfect combination of detail and nice acoustics.
@@RalphLooij I got the full set loaded up last night! Yay. Something new to inspire more practicing! Thanks again for showcasing it so well. I hope Juri is well aware of your influence.
Excellent performance, Ralph!
Thanks, Cristina.
Dear Ralph, your demonstration is fantastic. Even just listening to the music execution itself is satisfying. would love to hear more of your thoughts on choosing registrations, be it in video description or added in the video. Thank you very much for sharing this beautiful instrument with us.
Thanks for listening, Thomas! Well, organists wrote many books about chosing registration. In the end it comes down to what sound you like yourself and what's appropriate for the organ, the music and the time the piece was written in... A combination of that will do ;)
Beautiful 👌👍
Dank, Marco!
Wederom schitterende opnames Ralph! En wat een gave sampleset, hij klinkt fantastisch
Dank, Bram!
Great organ tour! Love the registration on tue Mendelssohn.
Thanks, Eunjoo. Lot of 8' stops, well, then a Mendelssohn should work ;)
Fantastic performance, Ralph. Very well played.
This sounds like a very interesting sample set for the baroque music. You know what I am going to say now: FOMO :)
Thanks, Marek! Well, in this case your FOMO-disease can be solved quickly, you just have to download the set ;)
@@RalphLooij Already in progress 😉
@ Ralph Looij/Jiri Zurek: Thanks! Chapeau! An interesting perspective for CeciliaVPO!
Thanks!
Thank you very much for such beautiful edition! Very sad, that we know only two Brunckhorst's organ works(
Thanks Yaroslav. I know three Brunckhorst pieces: his praeludium in g (the one often related to Bruhns), this one and a small atypical Sonata in A. But indeed, two organ works and the Sonata is a keyboard work in Italian style. But since the line between organ and harpsichord wasn't that straight in the baroque, you could perfectly play it on organ.
It gives a nice view on how versatile Brunckhorst was as a composer: partitura.org/index.php/arnold-matthias-brunckhorst-sonata-a-dur/
Very nice demo and promising sample set. Out of curiosity, what were your pipe coupling and detuning settings?
Thanks! They mostly were on default settings, so around 64. But having played a bit more with the settings after the recordings now I very much like it when the detuning is at 127.
@@RalphLooij Having messed around with it myself now, it seems there's a nice amount of natural detuning even at 0% and the detuning slider is pretty subtle. On some other Sonus sets I find that it's either too perfectly in tune or the detuning is excessive, neither of which sound super realistic IMO, but here it sounds pretty good regardless of the slider position. Overall I've been impressed with this set so far, especially for free :P
@@sonicwave32 Exactly, but don't confuse the detuning with the temperament, which is slightly unequal.
What mixture of front, rear, etc did you use?
In this case it's direct, diffuse, rear. I used mostly a mix of diffuse and rear. In softer pieces I add a bit of the direct perspective.
this is free?? Amazing!
Yep, if you have Hauptwerk, go for it ;)

Have you played this organ?
@@RalphLooij Yes, I did once. I had a meeting with the cantor at the time.
@@RalphLooijI'll be taking lessons there soon. There is a "real" video available on my channel. But you can't really feel the feeling on this instrument. come over. It is worth it!
