Over the past decades the organ music has become one of the most popular kinds of classical music in Russia. About 30 new organs were built in concert halls, and several old instruments were restored or rebuilt. Acoustical properties of 15 well-known Russian concert halls with organs (Moscow, St. Petersburg, Perm, Kazan, Astrakhan, etc.) are presented and considered in the paper. In many cases acoustics in the concert halls is not so good for the solo organ music. The reasons are discussed. Acoustics of the Russian concert halls with adjustable acoustics is considered (Moscow, Kazan). It was noted that the "optimum" reverberation time recommended by different acousticians for organ music had a tendency to be longer and longer in the 20th century. Values of the average sound absorption coefficient for organ front were estimated. Some problems in organ-building connected with the concert hall acoustics are discussed. |
