German text only

This two-volume musical travel guide accompanies the reader on a real - or imaginary - organ tour of Germany from north to south, from west to east and allows many discoveries of Germany's most attractive instruments.  Here is the story of organ building in Germany from the beginnings in the Renaissance, through the Baroque, via imported and home-grown  instruments of the Romantic to modern experiments. 

Karl-Heinz Göttert and Eckhard Isenberg have selected the most beautiful and interesting ones from the many thousands of organs in German cathedrals, parish and monastery churches and described them in vivid, cheerful portraits.
