Description
Johannes Geffert plays the organ of Sint Paul's Church, Antwerp, an instrument originally dating from 1654. This organ is a unique synthesis built at a meeting place between cultures (Latin and Germanic) and confessions of faith (Catholicism and Calvinism). An organ case which has been built according to the principles of the Dutch-North German organ (the "Hamburger Prospekt": vertical construction, pedal towers) contains sound qualities that are mainly French orientated. Elements of the early-romantic have also found their place here. The front of the magnificent organ case is decorated with extravagant Rubens-like sculptures which make it unmistakably original to Antwerp.
