Organ
concert Freiberg cathedral Thursday, September 18th, 2008 Germany is exceptionally rich in historic organs and a particularly fruitful
area for exploration is the state of Saxony, with no fewer than thirty-one
baroque instruments build by Gottfried Silbermann, who was born only 15 km
away from Freiberg. Most of his organs are still in near-original condition.
Gottfried Silbermann (1683-1753) and Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) were
contemporaries and are known to have worked together as colleagues and friends.
Perhaps the single most important feature of Gottfried Silbermann's instruments
is their distinctive sounds. From the silvery flutes to the strong and reedy
16' Posaune in the pedal, Silbermann's sounds were unique, and indeed were
constantly praised by organists in their testimonies of his instruments. Frequent
reference is made to a play on his name, as organists praised his "Silberklang"
or "Silvery Sounds". Mozart was quite clear: "These instruments are magnificent
beyond measure".
Freiberg has been the original location of Silbermann's workshops, and home
today to four Silbermann organs in three churches. In the Jakobi-Kirche a
two-manual, 20-register organ built in 1718; in the Petrikirche a larger,
two manual organ with 32 registers built in 1735; and in the St. Marien cathedral,
two Silbermann instruments. The smaller is a one-manual instrument, originally
built for the Johannis-Kirche and moved to the cathedral in 1939. The larger
of the cathedral's organs must surely rank as one of the world's finest: the
three-manual, 44-register instrument illustrated at the top of this page.
Amazingly perhaps, this magnificent instrument was only Silbermann's second
work, built between 1711 and 1714.
The organ recitals on Thursday will beginn at 20:00 in the cathedral "Dom
St. Marien" at the Untermarkt.
Tickets will be purchased by the conference
coordination for Euro 5, registration is required.
