A TRACKER-ACTION ORGAN IN ACTION

OK, one more YouTube clippie before I hit the rack!

John Scott Whiteley plays the Prelude and "Wedge" Fugue in E minor (BWV 548) by Johann Sebastian Bach. Some cameras inside the case show the moving tracker levers inside. I'm assuming this three-manual instrument is somewhere in Germany, but I could be wrong.
Hat tip to Argent.

  1. It's in Naumburg, Germany in St. Wenzel's Church. This is an ongoing project that he has with a TV production company to record Bach's complete organ works.

    I loved the camera work!

  2. The Wedge will be the organ response to the re-dedication this year at Fatima. The organ with its new Schantz console will be silent until it responds to the blessing...with this glorious Bach prelude.

    I am currently working with the scale drawing of the new console, penciling in stop names. The console will be ready a bit after Easter.
