The 1761 Johann-Andreas-Silbermann Organ Dom zu Arlesheim Arlesheim/Basel, Switzerland
Short preliminary Introduction and History
This famous organ is well-known especially for the complete Bach recordings of Lionel Rogg in 1970.
The cathedral has a Baroque organ built by the German builder Johann Andreas Silbermann, based in Alsace, in 1761. The instrument was restored by Metzler in 1959-62, and is an example of the fusion of French and German organ building styles. The complex restoration and reconstruction was done by the renowned Swiss Metzler organ workshop and was the leading restoration at this time, which had an important influence on all later restorations of baroque organs. The church has a wonderful warm and rich acoustics.
