About this work
Pipe organ of the Cathedral of St. Michael and St. Gudula, Brussels, Belgium. The Gothic church is dedicated to the patron saints of the City of Brussels, and is considered to be one of the finest examples of Brabantine Gothic architecture. Its construction began in the 11th century as a Romanesque church, replacing an earlier chapel, and was largely complete in its current form by the 16th century, though its interior was frequently modified in the following centuries. The large pipe organ in the nave was inaugurated in October 2000. It hangs as a swallow's nest organ at the level of the triforium, and has a total of 4300 pipes, 63 stops, 4 keyboards and the pedal-board. This instrument is the work of the German organ-builder Gerhard Grenzing, in collaboration with the English architect Simon Platt.
