Topic: A Historical Organ fr. 1680, Bach BWV 558 (Organteq 2) tuning 465Hz

Bach BWV 558 Prelude and Fugue, with Historical  organ, 1680, Orgtq 2, tuning 465Hz!

At 29 Nov. 2019 I had my first upload with Organteq 1, and a bit later this BWV 558  20.01 2020.

Here now with an organ, Schnitger l from 1680, an organ that Bach possible used.
Here we can hear the fantastic possibilities with Organteq 2. An over 300 year old organ, physically modelled!  This is how Bach possible sounded. Organteq 2 includes 18 historical organs. Incredible!
Don't compare with today's big organs. This is how it possible sounded a long time ago…
Tuning 465Hz
The organ is probably somewhat out of tune at the time, as one can perhaps assume.
Anyway I like this ”old” sound.

NOTICE:I read somewhere that the organs were not always in good condition. Bach applied for a job but he thought the organ was so bad that he didn't accept the job…  !!!

Many thanks to Dr. Roman Auvray (and the team: Pr. Philippe Guillaume, MsBA Niclas Fogwall, Dr. Juliette Chabassie, Dr. Robin Tournemenne, Dr. Alexis Thibault, Dr. Julien Pommier, Cp.E Guillaume Joly, Dr Xavier Morel and Dr. Guillaume Castera) for these Historical organs.

All the best, everyone

Stig

Dear Stig,

Really a wonderful and interesting performance on this Historical modelled Organ.
I've really apprecciated your explanantions and the possibility of Organteq 2. You make me want to buy a pedalboard, an Organteq 2, and another keyboard so I can play these magnificent pieces....

Thank you so much carmelo!   I have another coming soon 
edit: I don't have a pedalboard, so far I play the bass from the keyboard on separat track after playing the piece on track one. Then putting  together when exporting to mp 3 or wave.  It's about money - but I hope one day.....

Best wishes,

Stig
