so I was lucky to attend the very last concert of the old organ
(which my brother-in-law played...), in the 999 year old St. Stephan`s church in Bamberg/Germany:
on APRIL 1st 2007,
and hopefully will be as lucky when it comes to the very first concert of the new organ around easter time
next year...
(yes the old one had quite a bad signal/noise ratio, a lot of popping, wind-hiss,
and audibly is in need of some serious de-bugging - it still was tuned well, though,
which was especially neccessary with the heaviest number: Dieter Schmeel`s 1961 composition
"Introduction/Canon/Toccata", which comes almost next to playing with both forearms&elbows
supported by heavy tripling pedalwork...).
