Last Octobre we recorded the 2 organs in the st. John the Baptist Basilica in Oosterhout (NL).
The Basilica of Oosterhout
There is a very nice Maarschalkerweerd organ in this church which we hope to release in the future as well, however there is also a quite charming choir organ located near the altar.
The Verschueren choir organ of 1977
Due to the non-functioning of the main organ in the church, and the lack of restoration for the time being, it was decided in 1977 to have a choir organ built by the company Verschueren.
It is designed in classic southern style.
As choir or altar organ it is a modest instrument by Verschueren with a sophisticated disposition.
The Hoofdwerk is based on Principal 8 ft and has a shared Trumpet 8 ft, the 'Nevenwerk' has a Cornet décomposé.
In the seventies it was one of the innovative instruments of this organ builder.
A modest instrument with nice sound possibilities.
The acoustics are very warm and will go up to 7 seconds.
We recorded the instrument on 4 (!) different (stereo) channels, front, middle, rear and 'wall' so you can 'place' the sound and acoustics as you like it.
As a harbinger on the main organ and to give you the idea how that will sound in this very nice environment, we will offer you this sampleset for free!
