The Experts: The Bach and Silbermann Dynasties - Louis-Noël Bestion de Camboulas, Marc Mauillon, Les Surprises

Two dynasties in friendly competition
The musical legacy of the Bach family is inseparably linked to the progress in instrument making of the time, which was dominated by the Silbermann family. Offering a fascinating comparison between the two dynasties – composers vs. organ builders and fortepiano makers – for this recording, Louis-Noël Bestion de Camboulas and Les Surprises used superb copies of Silbermann instruments, but also a magnificent original: the famous Silbermann organ at the Cathedral of St. Mary in Freiberg, Saxony.
