San Petronio, Bologna

[DaveHarries]

Hi all.

 

I gather that the organ in Bologna Cathedral dates to about 1475. Does anyone have any weblinks to pictures / informtaion about it? I was in Italy recently and meant to go but never got the chance.

I've found some accounts. First, one detail: I think (only think!) that "San Petonio" is not Bologna's Cathedral. This is "San Pietro".

 

Here (in Italian)

http://www.organiantichi.org/organi_fr.html

you can see some photos of this and another italian organs.

 

Here (in English)

http://www.aec2000.it/organum/artec/ar-tipol.htm

you can read information about the organ.

 

There's a recording on this organ by Liuwe Tamminga (Accent).

 

I reckon it is a poor information. If I found some new I will post is!

 

Wishes!
