Komm, Heiliger Geist BWV 651 / Toccata Und Fuge F-Dur BWV 540 / Fantasie G-Dur BWV 572 / Fantasie Und Fuge G-Moll BWV 542 - Hanns Ander-Donath An Der Silbermann Orgel Der Frauenkirche Zu Dresden

Released in 1963 on the East German label ETERNA, this recording captures Hanns Ander-Donath performing selected works of Johann Sebastian Bach on the historic Silbermann organ at the Frauenkirche in Dresden. The production was part of an ongoing effort by the GDR state-owned record company to document the cultural heritage of Saxony, specifically highlighting the tonal quality of the iconic Silbermann instruments that define the region's baroque musical tradition.

Hanns Ander-Donath, who served as the organist of the Kreuzkirche in Dresden, was chosen for his deep familiarity with the liturgical and performance traditions of the city. The record was produced during a period when the Frauenkirche remained a poignant symbol of Dresden's history, and the engineering team aimed to capture the resonant acoustic of the space. It is regarded by collectors as a significant archival document, capturing the sound of the original Silbermann organ in the years prior to the church's late-century reconstruction.
