Instruments
The 1735 Silbermann organ in Freiberg served as a prototype for three other large organs, two in Dresden and one in Zittau, though only the Silbermann-Hildebrandt organ in Dresden's Hofkirche survives.
Instruments
The organ used for this recording, built by Gottfried Silbermann in 1735 for the Petrikirche in Freiberg, is the largest two-manual organ from his workshop.
Instruments
Gottfried Silbermann, an 18th-century organ builder, developed a late baroque organ style that favored a monumental, grand, and weighty sound.
Recording & Production
The organ was partially restored and overhauled in 1993 by the organ building company Jehmlich in Dresden, which also implemented a modified medium tuning.
