RE: L. Lefébure-Wély: Prelude in D-major. Secrets of Organ Playing Contest Week 73

Well done. I like this sample set but the pedal seems sluggish to me. I think @partitura is with me on that too. I would probably only register this on 8’s as a personal preference. It sounds like you had higher pitches as well?

Thanks for your comment :)
Yes, after experimenting with different variants of registration I decided to use not only 8' foundations but also 16' bourdon and some 4' stops. Still I'd like to play it on a different instrument - I'm not 100% satisfied with the results I got.

Yes, I agree, the pedal is to sluggish for me. I played several pieces by Lemmens on this sample sets but never really came to like it. Piotr Grabowsky has better sample sets in my opinion (Azzio, Giibasco, Friesach; and of course the new Cavaille Coll sample set, though that one is not free)

I've already downloaded only some sample sets by him (the fact that some of them are free is a big advantage for a beginner) - now I'm sure I'll try Azzio and Giubiasco :)
Friesach is very nice, though I didn't feel like it fits this piece.
