Organ in Santa Maria de Montserrat Abbey
Organ in Santa Maria de Montserrat Abbey
Santa Maria de Montserrat Abbey sits atop Montserrat mountain in Catalonia, Spain. It's an 11th-century Benedictine monastery that still begs to be a pilgrimage. This recording was taken after following the old pilgrims path all the way up the mountain under a scorching sun.
The basilica was a cool, serene relief tucked at the top of the sharp mountains. It's easy to understand the awesome emotional effect it has had on those who arrived before.
