Martin Cooke Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 My wife and I have just returned from a few days in Florence. I wonder if any forum members have any experience of the organs over there - hearing, playing etc? I had researched the Duomo organ a little and was looking forward to seeing a 5-manual organ, but as visitors to that edifice will know, unless you attend mass, or you go on a tour of the dome with its long climb, you can scarcely see the dome area and are kept from advancing up the nave of the cathedral at all. St Croce, I discovered after our visit, has a large 4-manual organ though the two rather small cases bely this, and I couldn't see the console - (part of the church was roped and screened off for maintenance. No sign at either building of recitals etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zimbelstern Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 I’m sure Christopher Stembridge would know something and would be delighted to help: http://www.christopherstembridge.org/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
