Great Rieger Organ

With 116 stops for its five manuals and the pedal board, the Great Rieger Organ at Vienna Konzerthaus is the largest concert organ in continental Europe. It was built by the famous “Gebrüder Rieger” company of Jägerndorf, Silesia, and installed in 1913. The fact that it was originally installed in a concert hall makes this “Queen of Instruments” the ideal match for orchestral instruments playing on a scoring stage or in a concert hall. Note: due to technical difficulties the organ’s Fernwerk was unavailable at the time of recording, so the fifth manual could not be included here.
