I am not sure I understand your original inference - sorry! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Flemish baroque organs are organs with knitted swell boxes? Those Hugenots were clever ya know!!!

That's how come there was not an enclosed. Enough of my sick jokes, sorry, just played Mass.....its excusable!!! R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcnd5584 Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 What do you not understand? Pierre <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I did not understand what the person was originally asking. Was he unfamiliar with that type of organ or have I missed the point? I am tired - I did not have to play for Mass to-day - but it is hot here and I am fairly tired - I think that this is also excusable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre Lauwers Posted August 22, 2005 Author Share Posted August 22, 2005 Was he unfamiliar with that type of organ (Quote) It seems; someone said he knew only of Antwerp's Cathedral and an Anneessens. But the baroque tradition lived in Belgium up to 1850 so we still have a fair number of baroque organs. Apologies if they are known in Britain!

pcnd5584 Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Not to me! I would be interested to hear more. Of course, I do know the wonderful Pierre Scyven organ at Antwerp Cathedral, having played it on a few occasions. I have in my possession a book entitled [/i]West-Vlaamse Orgelklanken, of which you may know, or have a copy. Apart from stop-lists and historical detalis, there are many excellent quality photographs of the organs of Belgium. I would be particularly interested to know what the organ of Sint-Salvatore's Cathedral, Brugge, is like. The oak (?) case, now blackened with age, with its gilt pipes looks superb. Any information will be gratefully received. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is a soundtrack of another in Ghent: http://users.skynet.be/sky25034/nl/GOP-info.html Pierre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
