Baroque organ of Zsámbék (Hungary)

Baroque organ of Zsambek
                                                                                History

 Zsámbék is a small town near Budapest (Hungary), 5,000 inhabitants.
Norbertine monks built a monastery and a huge church in 1200. The church was destroyed by an earthquake in 1763. The ruins are still visible. Then the monks built a Baroque church The church's organ was built by unknown master in 1770. The organ had one manual with 10 stops. The organ was totally destroyed over time. The organ was rebuilt and expanded by Albert Miklós in 1999. The reconstruction was loaned by using the original pipes.

This was my first organ recording and sample, in 2013. I didn't have good microphones at the time, I made the recording with two handheld recorders, a Tascam dr05 and a Zoom H2n, but I only used the Tascam recording for the sample. And I had very little practice at that time. It's been 10 years since then and I've taken the original recording again and re-processed the raw sample. This is how the new version was made. This is much better quality than the original version and has 4-channel surround sound. But the recording itself is not new, and my old microphones limit the quality. So this sample is not up to the quality of my current samples, but it is much better than the original.
Many thanks to my friends (Gérard Lefranc, Dominique Dantand, István Nagy, Jean-Pierre Silvestre) for testing the sample and making the audio demos.
