Make sure to watch this one in 1080p HD, the art in the basilica is excellent.  It's hard to imagine how they could build all of that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ettal_Abbey#

Great video. Below is another nice Baroque organ in a Catholic church, this one in Dresden and built by Silbermann in 1755. Much of this organ's inner workings survived the Dresden firebombing in storage, and it was re-installed/rebuilt in the church afterwards.

The music is  the very well known Bach Toccata and Fugue in D minor, but interesting to compare the organ and sound type. Very singing and voice-like. Allegedly Mozart played this organ and said "These instruments are magnificent beyond measure."

Verdi's Requiem is in my opinion the greatest Requiem even surpassing Mozart's. The version with Pavarotti as a soloist is the one to beat. It has been taken off of YouTube so many times unfortunately. I think there is still a live version on YouTube but with an annoying humming in the background.
