The Scherer-Bünting-Flentrop organ in Mölln is the only surviving organ by Jacob Scherer, a prominent organ builder in 16th and 17th century Hamburg.
Performer Biography
Dagmar Lübking, the organist on this album, is praised for her ability to match the musical works with the specific characteristics of the historical instruments she plays.
Instruments
The Scherer family, including Jacob Scherer and his sons, were instrumental in developing the North German organ type, characterized by a 'Hamburg facade' with distinct Hauptwerk, Rückpositiv, and Pedal sections.
Recording & Production
This album was recorded in September 2023 at the St. Nicolai Church in Mölln, featuring the historic Scherer-Bünting organ.
Performer Biography
Dagmar Lübking's main interest as an organist is understanding the tonal identity of a work within its historical context, a focus supported by her studies in musicology and classical philology.
Interpretation
The restored Mölln organ is ideally suited for music from the 16th to 18th centuries, as its restoration preserved the unique timbres from different historical periods.
Instruments
The Mölln organ incorporates pipes from a previous structure dating back to 1436, which are likely the oldest known Gothic organ pipes in Northern Germany.
