“Not without reason is the organ regarded as resembling the human body, which is controlled and guided in the fulfilment of its mission by the soul. […] In this way the bellows recall and resemble the lungs; the pipes the throat or trachea; the keys conspicuously the teeth; while the position of the languet (tongue) provides the organ’s musical artistry. If, therefore, someone plays upon it with a masterful movement of the hands and the speed of an artist, thereby producing an agreeable sound, t...hen he is speaking in the most appealing manner possible.” Thus wrote the 16–17th century Italian organist and composer Girolamo Diruta. In this series presenting keyboard instruments, László Fassang, the musician most thoroughly familiar with the Müpa’s own organ, makes this huge and wonderful instrument speak from across the millennia of its existence, describing its history, its operation and the unrivalled richness of its sound.
