Me practicing the Prelude dal Te Deum by Marc-Antoine Charpentier on the Kosice Cathedral Organ in Slovakia. This is a truly magnificent instrument with some unbeleivable sounds. The casing is a magnificent wood carving and and the acoustics are great. Sorry, but the video is on its side, so you'll have to tilt your monitor/head.
