These 2 ton instruments are incredible, and the people who play them are so gifted. There is a Renaissance fair in Colorado every summer, and there is a Carilloneur who brings his and plays it, sells CDs, and we love it. The vibrations go right through and vibrate your bones.

a reason to not f--k up your carillon lesson

It is said of Bach that he "was able to accomplish passages on the pedals with his feet which would have given trouble to the fingers of many a clever player on the keyboard." Here, Boudewijn plays passages with his fists that would have given trouble to the fingers of many a clever player on the keyboard!

when are we going to hear the fugue? it would be interesting to hear how you interpret the change in the timbre between the various parts in that section with this instrument.

Interpréter au carillon la toccata et fugue de Bach écrite pour orgue doit présenter beaucoup de difficultés ! Bravo !

Just perfect in every sense: taste, musicality, technical virtuosity, interpretational originality, transcription fully organic for the carillon and utilizing its full potential... Bravo!

Ahhhh, finally! A keyboard for the player who’s always mad..., no reason, just literally about to lose his sh** at any given time :-)

Ok for the people in this reply section: there's a couple different types of compression when you talk about audio. One is like what you might find in an effect pedal, where high volumes are brought down and low volumes are brought up, giving punchier attack but less dynamic range. The compression youtube does is not that. KZread compresses audio files, meaning sound will sound a little less life-like, but the dynamics are not really affected and it certainly doesn't just shave off overtones. The effect that is actually used here sounds like just a simple gate, where if the volume is below a certain threshold, it cuts out. That bothered the heck out of me too. I'll bet the segment came in between or after a talking segment on some show, and the sound people forgot to adjust 😭😭

When I was a kid many years ago, our church group visited a cathedral that had a carillon. We got up in the tower and watched it being played, very much like this. There was also a practice keyboard so that you won't embarrass yourself to the whole city. 60 years ago, still remember it clearly. We also got inside the wind chests of the organ.

The ringing in my ears has a tune. . .
