The Prague organ renewal at St. Vitus Cathedral puts Haydn’s legacy in focus as a touchstone for classical sound and instrument craftsmanship.
Prague's St. Vitus Cathedral has received a new four-keyboard organ, built in Spain and transported to Prague after crowdfunding raised over 135 million Czech crowns. The instrument, with about 6,000 pipes, will be voiced in a series of eight concerts; the previous organ proved too small and broke down during the communist era.
