Altenbruch & Lüdingworth

In 1730, Johann Hinrich Klapmeyer (Glückstadt) moved and expanded the organ of St. Nicolai Church in Altenbruch. This organ has been well-maintained, and was restored 2002-04 by Ahrend.

In 1683, Schnitger expanded without altering the 1598 work of A. Wilde at St. Jacobus the Elder in Lüdingworth. The 35 stop instrument was restored and tuned to mean-tone tuning by Ahrend in 1982 and 1998.

Over an hour of music on each of the two instruments of this two CD set!
