Tool, established in the cathedral, Swiss origin. It was built in 1955 by Swiss firm “Kuhn” for the Evangelical- reformatory cathedral in basel, and it is now transmitted into the gift to Catholic community in Moscow. In a quantity of registers - 74 - it is temporarily inferior to its fellow from . However, placed into the cathedral acoustics, it requires another performer approach. Even entirely soft sound easily fills space, but the thunder reelings “of the king of tools” completely not so are frightening rectilinear as in the acoustics of concert hall. It was possible to judge this, comparing sounding the picturesque opus of Orestes [Ravanello] “theme with the variations” in execution Klemens Schnorr in [MMDM] and Roberto Of [mikkoni], the organist of the basilica of San- Marco in the cathedral. And then - here the church aura, the atmosphere of spiritual paradise cast a spell. Therefore even such begun to play opuses - as, for example, toccata and seam Re Bach's minor, played at the inauguration in the cathedral by organist Aleksey [Parshin], are filled by new sense, obtaining enormous spiritual charge.

But here in the very beautiful portrait hall of hospital im Burdenko they established electronic organ. It is not worth thinking that this is the tool of the second type. By the way, even in the Vatican, as testifies James [Getshe], the organist of the cathedral SV of Peter, during the service of the Pontiff in The [sikstinskoy] choir is used precisely electro-organ. In the hospital im Burdenko the organ will participate in the special program of musical therapy.
