My uncle was the organist at the Shrine for 60+ years until 2011. My grandmother, mother, and I have had the privilege of sitting at the key desk. Uncle Ralph would be proud to view this.

When I was a student at St. Louis U (68 -72) the part of town where the shrine is located was not safe at all. Next to Pruitt-Igoe - the largest (and possibly worst) high-rise subsidized housing district in town. Very crime infested. I was able to visit the shrine after its restoration when I was attending a music convention in St. Louis a few years ago as part of an organ crawl. Lovely restoration. Thanks for this video

Thank you. Very interesting video. And the sound-recording seems better balanced, much improved! Merci bien. 👍 💕

You guys should plan a trip down to TX soon. Make sure you stop by St Andrews in Denton. My friend Parker is the organist there currently. I'm sure he'd love to show you guys the Casavant.

@mtolympus-worstplayerever7924 5 лет назад

Lovely! Brent, do you plan on visiting the Basilica of St. Louis next? You mention that Dr. Buchholz is director there as well.

@OrganMediaFoundation 5 лет назад

We definitely are planning to go there to see that organ, but doing it justice is going to take a lot of planning and time from all involved.

Flute D'amore has been renamed Mezzo-Soprano Flute so the stop emulates the sound of a Mezzo-Soprano Flute in A.

Ott did a magnificent job of restoration. No doubt Ott had a hand in restoring the tonal structure of the organ as it was when built. Too bad modern builders can't learn something from this instead of building the screeching organs presently the fad. Nice trumpet and ot puching you in the face. GET THAT ORGAN TUNED!!!!

@camilloflaim8933 5 лет назад

I know where are you, at south of Chesterfield. Those organ little for Bach, better for Mendelsshon, little J.Stanley; L.Boelmann, C.Franck etc.

Then the organ will say goodnight! 😂

@cromorno8749 3 года назад

It's false, the instruments that Mendelssohn had in his mind was in Silbermann style, the organs by Joachim Wagner. Romantic organs started to develop just in his very last years.

@mjacobsen3753 2 года назад

Therefore, this is just what Mendelsohn wanted. A Romantic-Symphonic organ is really something else, and indeed not a typical Mendelsohn organ. This is also Romantic, but more traditional. Silbermann and Wagner was almost a century earlier. In between, development did not stop.

@praestant8 5 лет назад

No, mixtures really didn’t start going away until the early 20th century. The 2’ on the swell is typical of american organs and a nearly string scaled 2’. Cornets were quite common in the swell until the 19-teens, and of the typical string quality. Pedal violoncellos were also a staple in larger Victorian era instruments, with a usual wood pedal reed. Not much of a “restoration” by Ott perhaps spending too much dwelling on the aesthetics of the case instead of concentrating on tonal and mechanical needs. Lots of potential though.

@noahpierson440 5 лет назад

My god, Do you EVER have anything positive to say?! I've seen you floating around the organ side of YT here and there, and have not ONCE!! seen you say anything that isn't negative, or a critique in some form or fashion.

@thebog11 4 года назад

@@noahpierson440 He's not the only one - I have seen a few YT organ commenters that follow the same pattern. In fact, I've noticed that classical music people in general have a tendency to be snubby and hypercritical.

@johnigoe1705 4 года назад

I grew up playing an 1879 E&G.G Hook & Hastings... with Mixture III, Acuta III, Dolce Cornet II. Although some may say that " mixtures really didn’t start going away until the early 20th century. " This American organ was very typical for its time.

@michaelhoerig5920 5 лет назад

This organ has a very beautiful sound. I've been to Mass there and have heard it in person. I serve on a committee to restore an 1885 Schuelke and, you can believe me, no one wants to hear your discussion about the individual stops. Tell us about the restoration, let us hear real music. That's what the average person wants. The average person is not well-informed about organ design and construction.

@seattleorganman7901 5 лет назад

Michael Hoerig...please do not speak for me and I'm sure many others. I am an organ builder, and I find the review and discussion of the stops most fascinating and beneficial. I am most particularly interested in 19th century American organs like this...so these videos are a wonderful resource and catalogue for many people.

@michaelhoerig5920 5 лет назад

I do not speak for you; I express my own opinion. While you might be an organ builder, I am an organist, with a masters degree in organ performance. I've been a member of the OHS for over 40 years. The average person does not want to hear what an organ builder does.

@CaesarNeptuneStudios 5 лет назад

Michael Hoerig While you bring up many good points about how the video is drawn out that’s just the style of this channel. I agree over-analyzing is annoying sometimes but you know... you could just skip past all of that if it’s boring for you.
