Albinoni - Giazotto - Adagio in SOL min. registration terms

[holken]

Hi,

I'm studying the Albinoni - Giazotto adagio (Ricordi score) and have come across a term I haven't seen before.
The organ part begins with "O.E. p dolce". What does O.E. mean here?
Later instructions include "Manuale" (I understand this one )
and then O.E. Rip. (Rip. I would believe is likely "ripieno, i.e. full")

Additionally, if anyone has recommendations for any free or reasonably priced sample sets that are particularly suitable for this piece, that would be welcome.

Many thanks

The Giazotto (Albinoni) Adagio is a modern work in the style of Albinoni. Everyone thought it was Albinoni, but it turns out it wasn't. Still, a very nice piece.

If you want it to sound Baroque Italian, my usual go-tos are the St. Carlo in Brescia (SP), and the Farkasret (Augustine's virtual organs). The St. Carlo is a really old recording missing a lot of modern features, but it's got tons of panache. The Farkasret is a really good copy of a baroque Italian organ.

There's the Andrea Bonzi organs. They are interesting organs, and reasonably well put together, but my impression is they were all sampled in a very poor state of repair. So I don't usually play them.

SP also has the Padre Davide organ, which I've not tried, but it's more "Italian Romantic" if there is such a thing.

Any organ that has a reasonably nice colour reed on one manual and strings on another should be able to do a pretty good job though. At least that's what I'd do!

That's a great set of tips, thank you. I will check these sets out.
