In 1993, the organ building company Jehmlich in Dresden carried out a successful partial restoration and repair of the organ.
Instruments
Gottfried Silbermann, an 18th-century organ builder, developed his late Baroque organ style to accommodate the prevailing taste for monumental, magnificent sound.
Instruments
This Freiberg organ 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 still exists.
Instruments
The organ in St. Petri Church in Freiberg, built in 1735 by Gottfried Silbermann, was the first of a new type for him and his largest two-manual organ.
Instruments
A unique feature of this organ is Silbermann's use of Principal 16 Fuß and Fagott 16 Fuß (long-cup manual trombone) as the foundation of the main division, which determines the overall sound volume.
