“Given that Rorate Coeli and Shea are mad at Fr. Z, I think it proves Fr. Z knows what he is doing and he is right.”

"Let me be clear. Fr. Z is a shock jock, mostly. His readership is vast and touchy. They like to be provoked and react with speed and fury."

Bob Heil (ham radio Bob) used to do organ work in St Louis. Wonder if he ever worked on this one.
Growing up in StL, I have a lot of connections to that Cathedral, including my confirmation! Thank you for sharing these great videos! I have always wondered what everything would look like from the gallery level.
That was a really informative video, and WHAT a tremendous instrument. I watched it right through, having a bit of a weakness for that sort of thing! And WHAT a stupendous Basilica! I had no idea! In a way, it reminded me of an illustration they used to have (maybe still there?) at the rear of Westminster Cathedral, showing what it should look like if and when the money is ever raised to complete it per the original design.
There are many musicians here who know: how is this pretty Cathedral for organ acoustics? I’ve been in several that were outstanding and several that were dreadful.
Wonderful. thank you Father Z. Made me wonder about playing bells clarions. Is there that arrangement at the cathedral or no. Where would one get trained to play bells?
PostCatholic, I sang in the choir at the Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis for several years (before Covid). While I’m not an organist, what I heard from Horst and Ben was that the acoustics are wonderful IF you know how to use that long reverberation.
That organ sounds great to me, but I’m no expert. I love his playing of the Widor Toccata at the end. Not too fast, a mistake many show-off organists make.
