Finally, after recovering from jet
lag and whatever else hit him, John Olesky, Class of 1950, put together an
online photo album of the Aug. 14-21 Danube River cruise by Paula and John.
One of the highlights was the Passau,
Germany organ in St. Stephan Cathedral, the largest church organ in the world.
The 17,774 pipes were divided into
five groups so that you had sound coming from the front, from the back, from
the left, from the right and from above.
It was the most astounding church
sound I’ve ever heard, and I’ve been to the Mormon Tabernacle in Salt Lake
City, Utah, which has the best acoustics in the world. To demonstrate, a woman
at the altar dropped a pin, which we could hear clearly in the back row of
pews.
The Passau concert was pretty close to feeling like you died and went to Heaven.
