Silbermann at the Frauenkirche, Dresden

[Guest]

Doe anybody have first hand experience with the organ they built 'inspired by' the original Silbermann? I found an old recording Hanns Ander-Donath playing the real thing before the war (pretty amazing I must say) and am curious as to whether their new organ is any good. Here is a link to someone who was very unhappy that they were not planning to reconstruct the original organ exactly.

I do understand his disappointment very well. And if the person driving the new organ is anything to go by, I'll give the new disaster a wide berth. Maybe I'll pass there an this years holiday. I'll let you know if I pick something up there.
