Orgelwerke 3 (Toccata Und Fuge D-moll BWV 565 / Concerto IV C-dur BWV 595 / Fantasie Und Fuge G-moll BWV 542 / Pastorale F-dur BWV 590 / Partite Diverse Sopra: O Gott, Du Frommer Gott BWV 767) (Herbert Collum An Der Silbermannorgel Zu Reinhardtsgrimma)

Released in 1980 on the East German ETERNA label, this recording features the organist Herbert Collum performing a selection of Johann Sebastian Bach's masterworks. The album was part of a larger effort by VEB Deutsche Schallplatten to document the classical repertoire using the historic instruments of the former German Democratic Republic. By this stage in his career, Collum was highly regarded for his specialized interpretations of Bach, having served for decades as the organist and choir director at the Kreuzkirche in Dresden.

The recording showcases the Silbermann organ located in the village church of Reinhardtsgrimma, an instrument widely prized for its authentic Baroque tonal characteristics. Designed by Gottfried Silbermann, a contemporary of Bach, the organ provided the precise acoustic environment required for an historically informed performance. The ETERNA production team aimed to capture the clarity and resonant qualities of the instrument, resulting in a release that remains a valued reference for those interested in the nexus of 18th-century organ construction and 20th-century German performance traditions.
