Die Oberlinger-Orgel In Der Kath. Pfarrkirche St. Jakobus Zu Friedberg-Ockstadt

Released in 1980 on the Organo Phon label, this recording showcases the Oberlinger organ located in the St. Jakobus Catholic parish church in Friedberg-Ockstadt. The organ is a notable instrument crafted by the reputable German firm Orgelbau Oberlinger, known for their work in maintaining and constructing pipe organs across the Rhineland-Palatinate region. This record was produced during a period when specialized labels sought to document the unique tonal characteristics of regional pipe organs, serving as both an archival project and a demonstration of the instrument's capabilities within its architectural acoustic setting.

The recording features the organist Gert Augst, a musician associated with German liturgical and concert music. Augst's performance was intended to highlight the versatility of the Ockstadt organ, which features the mechanical action and registration typical of late twentieth-century German organ building. While the release primarily appealed to organ enthusiasts and members of the local parish community, it serves as a historical document of the organ's specific tonal profile before subsequent maintenance or modifications. It remains a representative example of the niche classical documentation series produced by Organo Phon during that era.
