a resounding cathedral

The main organ in Storkyrkan ("the Great Church") is all mechanical. So don't forget to exercise and mind those toe pedals!

I always liked to sneek inside a church where someone is exercising, usually in the evening, ofen in a desert church.

It's gorgeous, I wish we could hear it!

Halcyon said...

Beautiful! Have you heard the organ play?

This shot is just fantastic! It looks like a gorgeous stage for a surely great performance.

'tis the season for Christmas concerts of course. One could probably find and enjoy a new one every single day in December.

Svenske Floyd: Thanks. The organ isn't that bad either... ;)

Vogon Poet: I agree. Opening hours in this particular church are somewhat limited so it's kind of unusual to have it all to yourself but I know the feeling. Those are some of my best music memories too.

cieldequimper: You can catch a brief soundclip (and some more views) right here.

Halcyon: I have. It's a great instrument, at least as far as a layman can tell.

JM: Glad you like it too!

Good to have you all stopping by.

wow, very dramatic shot.
I bet when the choir begins to sing accompanied with the piano... it's in perfect pitch...

Very impressive!

The church is situated next to Stockholm Castle so there's a lot around here to keep a tourist busy.

arabesque: In fact, there was a choir rehearsing when I snapped these photos.

Tinsie: I bet they did that on purpose...

Many thanks.
