Walcker organ 1878 2011-11-12 This week I had the chance to 'visit' the organ of the Votive Church (Votivkirche) here in Vienna. Renovated in 1996, it is still the original organ dating from the construction of the church. 61 registers, 3 manuals. And it sounds wonderful. This church received very little damage in the war. Here you see a shot of the other 'colleagues' up in the organ loft during the explanation (I had returned downstairs due to some vertigo up there). [and the perspective has therefore been straightened]
It's organ season again 2011-11-04 The season for organ concerts has started again here. This is the organ in the church of Vienna's central cemetery - the art nouveau jewel I've featured before. The organ was expertly played by a young Slovak organist. Normally the cemetery is closed after dark, but the city opened it for us.
