Andreas and Gottfried Silbermann were organ-building brothers whose lives spanned the latter 17th-century to the mid-18th century. This week we spend the hour listening to examples of some of the brother’s finest surviving instruments plus a couple of organs by some of their gifted students. This episode was made possible by Quimby Pipe Organs
