Heavenly Sounds - The Organ and its Fascinating Versatility | Music Documentary
It’s a must-see for all organ fans: The film ‘Heavenly Sounds - The Organ and its Fascinating Versatility’ by Peter Schlögl. This music documentary explores the sounds of Germany’s organs, from one of the oldest church organs in the world in the town of Ostönnen in Westphalia, to the late romantic organ in the Berlin Cathedral, to a milestone in contemporary organ-building: the organ in the church of St. Martin in Kassel. Virtuoso organists and organ experts present ‘their’ organs, tell us about their histories and technical details, and give us a taste of the possible sounds that this largest of instruments can make.
Due to its enormous sounds, the organ, known as the Queen of Instruments, remains enduringly fascinating to this day. The Deutscher Musikrat, part of the International Music Council, made the organ ‘instrument of the year’ in 2021.
