  • PETER PLANYAVSKY Biography
    PETER PLANYAVSKY Biography Peter Planyavsky was born in Vienna in 1947 and became a student of Anton Heiller at the University for Music and Drama when he was 12. He graduated with the Master’s Diploma in Organ (1966) and the Diploma in Church Music (1967). He then worked for one year in the workshop of a major Austrian organ builder, and for another year he served as Abbey Organist at Schlägl, Austria. In 1969, Mr. Planyavsky was appointed Cathedral Organist at St. Stephan’s Cathedral, Vienna. From 1983 until 1990 he was the Cathedral’s Music Director with responsibility for choral and organ programs, which in Austria are traditionally held as two separate positions. In 2004, he decided to terminate his affiliation with the Cathedral. Since 1980, Mr. Planyavsky has been Professor for Organ and Improvisation at the University for Music and Drama in Vienna, also functioning as Head of the Church Music Department from 1996 to 2003. Peter Planyavsky also undertakes a full schedule as a recitalist, a coach in workshops and master classes, and a member of juries. He has toured North America, Japan, Australia, South Africa and most of Europe, and has recorded many CDs and records. Mr. Planyavsky has won several prizes and awards, most recently the Federal Austrian Prize for Music, awarded to him for his collected compositions. He has composed extensively for choir, organ and orchestra, with primary emphasis on liturgical works. As a conductor, Peter Planyavsky has performed the Bach Mass in B Minor, the Duruflè Requiem, the great Haydn masses, and other major sacred works.

    COME & SING LANGLAIS - IN THE TOWN WHERE HE WAS BORN Brenda Dean writes on the annual Langlais Festival Langlais went blind from glaucoma at the age of two, but, despite this handicap, became one of the most respected organists and composers of the 20th century. A prolific composer, his catalogue of works comprises vocal and instrumental sacred music (among them the famous Missa salve regina, the Messe solennelle and the Missa in simplicitate, very often performed in concert), secular music and numerous organ pieces, some of which are considered ean Langlais was born in the Brittany town of La 20th century classics. Fontenelle, Ille-et-Vilaine, in February 1907. His family Jwere very poor; his father was a quarry worker and his mother a dressmaker. Langlais went blind from glaucoma at the age of two, but despite this handicap, became one of the most respected organists and composers of the 20th century. It was as a result of his blindness that he rose out of poverty and was able to develop his musical gifts – had he remained sighted, it is likely that he would have become a quarryman like his father. Thanks to a good-hearted relative, however, he was sent to Paris at the age of 10 and studied piano, violin, composition and organ firstly at the National Institute for the Young Blind and then subsequently at the Conservatoire de Musique. He was awarded first prize at the Conservatoire in Marcel Dupré’s class of 1930, and a composition prize in Paul Dukas’s class of 1934. He studied improvisation with Charles Tournemire, receiving in 1931 the Prix des Amis de l’Orgue.

  • The Queen Among Instruments
    Dossier | The Queen among instruments The Queen among instruments The Organ in the Goldener Saal Since 2011, the famous organ façade, which dominates the Großer Musivereinssaal, has hidden one of the best concert organs in the world. The instrument is in fact the fourth to occupy the space since the Musikverein building opened in 1870 and provides a tangible link to this institution’s fascinating organ history. It is undoubtedly the central element in Theophil Hansen’s visually and acoustically brilliant Großer Musikvereinssaal: the organ, queen of the instruments, the focus for concert audiences in the hall and also – at least every 1 January – for millions of television viewers around the world.
