Organ Symphony no. 6 - Widor

Back


First movement of Widor's 6th organ symphony Pierwsza część szóstej symfonii organowej Widora. Polskich widzów odsyłam do linków zamieszczonych poniżej. Tam znajdują się informacje o instrumencie o których piszę po angielsku poniżej. Organ: The organ was originaly built by a German firm Sauer from Frakfurt in 1982 as Opus 2134. It was biult in a music school wich unfourtunatly was flooded in 1997. After the flood Sauer built a new instrument in this school (Opus 2270) using some of the parts from the previous instrument. The rest of the 'old' Sauer organ was mooved to the church of the Holy Cross by a Polish firm "Cynar" from Wroclaw. It was then very much rebiult and extended. It is actually a totaly new instrument now, thogh the most beautilfully sounding voices are those built originaly by Sauer. In my opinion the organ now is a big mish-mash. Cynar is a firm with no traditions which came into excistance when Poland was a communist country. His instruments are very rough sounding and biult very carelessly. Unfourtunatly after World War II this firm had a 'monopol' for building organs in Wroclaw as it was the only firm a those times (of course any contact with west Europe countries was strictly forbiden). Many churches and organs where destroyed during the war and Cynar was the one to built new instruments in them. Sauer on the ather hand is a great German organbuilding firm whith long romantic traditions. They build many instruments in Wroclaw before the war (including one of the worlds biggest organ in the Centennial Hall mooved after war to the Wroclaw Cathedral). Personly I especially like the sound of romatic stops in Sauer's instruments and perfect intonation. That's why the instrument in the church of the Holy Cross sounds that good even thoug there is more Cynar than Sauer in it right now. The other thing is the magnificent acoustics of the church - something incredeble. Player: Organ student in Wroclaw Secondary Music Shool - 5th grade.
