Geistliche Abendmusik In St. Andreas - Baustein Für Eine Orgel In St. Andreas Freiburg Weingarten

Released in 1973 under the Tonstudio Vleugels label, this recording serves as a historical document of the musical life at the St. Andreas church in Freiburg. The album was produced as a fundraising initiative, titled 'Baustein für eine Orgel' or 'Building Block for an Organ,' specifically intended to finance the restoration or procurement of a new pipe organ for the parish. It captures a collaborative performance featuring vocal soloists, the Singkreis St. Andreas, and the Kammerorchester Studenten der Musikhochschule Freiburg under the direction of Wilm Geismann.

The program focuses on sacred baroque works by Johann Sebastian Bach and François Couperin, reflecting the liturgical and cultural atmosphere of German church music traditions in the early 1970s. Tonstudio Vleugels was noted for documenting regional classical performances and organ projects across Southern Germany during this era. The record is characteristic of private pressings of the time, designed primarily for congregants and local supporters to commemorate the concert series and contribute directly to the church's musical infrastructure.
