Bespeelt Het Hinsz-Orgel In De Ned. Herv. Kerk te Midwolda (Old)

Released on the Martiniphoon label, this recording features organist Piet Wiersma performing on the historic Hinsz-orgel located in the Dutch Reformed Church of Midwolda. The instrument itself is a significant example of 18th-century North German-Groningen organ building, constructed by Albertus Antoni Hinsz in 1772, and is celebrated for its precise mechanical action and rich, balanced tonal palette that epitomizes the late Baroque tradition.

The recording serves as both a musical recital and a documentary of the instrument’s specific acoustic character within the church’s architecture. Martiniphoon frequently focused on capturing the authentic sounds of regional organs in the Netherlands, aiming to preserve the work of master builders for scholarly and enthusiast listening. The reception of these recordings has remained largely within the specialized niche of classical organ aficionados, appreciated for the clarity of the recording process and Wiersma's technically disciplined interpretation of the repertoire.
