When I need to spend a few minutes in Vienna (which is more often than I like to admit), I just pull out my iPhone and look up the latest video from Philipp Broinger, who under the handle of architectphilipp roams the streets of Austria’s capitol to present Vienna’s unique architectural gems and offer anecdotes associated with those gems. Herr Broinger is a personable, likable chap, possessed of a seemingly encyclopedic knowledge about the city and delighted to be sharing it with others. His videos have garnered over 4,000 followers on TikTok and 25,000 followers on Instagram, and no wonder.
Below is one of Herr Broinger’s videos, about the history of music at the Stephansdom; he interviews the Stephansdom organist Konstantin Reymaier. You can follow architectphilipp at either of the TikTok or Instagram channels linked above, and he’s on Facebook too.
@architect.philipp Exploring the soul of St. Stephen’s Cathedral, where history and music harmonize in every corner. From ancient organs to modern melodies, this cathedral has always been a place where sound fills the sacred space. Join me and cathedral organist Konstantin Reymaier on a journey through the cathedral’s rich musical heritage.
