I am delighted to have the opportunity to test and present the new sample set from Augustine in this and a few other postings. It is the model of the Aquincum organ, which was built in 2000 in the Holy Spirit Church in the western Hungarian spa town of Hévíz – a three-manual instrument with thirty-six stops. Like many instruments built in recent years, the organ has a slightly French flavour, but without being strictly limited to that region or even to a particular era, so that a wide repertoire can be presented quite adequately on it.
My first upload with this sample set still captures a glimpse of the Christmas season: it is the chorale prelude no. 2, "Adeste fideles", from the "Douze Choral-préludes sur des chants grégoriens pour orgue", op. 8, by Jeanne Demessieux (1921–1968), which was published in 1947.
