The spirit of the organ

A film about the pipe organ

"To my ears, the organ is the king of instruments", wrote W.A. Mozart to his father.


What is so special about the organ?

Its size, its grandeur, the space it occupies?

Julian Benedikt and his team spent three years

travelling from organ to organ across Europe,

meeting organists, organ builders

and lovers of the organ and organ music.

 

What is the secret of the organ?

The space, the sound, the air!


"Organs are marvels,

temples inspired by the hand of God,

echoes of the song of creation,"

writes Johann Gottfried Herder.
