This recording features organist Robert Köbler performing at the Silbermann organ in Großhartmannsdorf, an instrument celebrated for its baroque authenticity. Released in 1970 by the East German state label ETERNA, the record serves as a showcase for the specific tonal characteristics of Gottfried Silbermann's 1741 masterpiece, which remained relatively unaltered and thus highly prized for historical performance practice.

The repertoire, consisting of works by Johann Sebastian Bach, emphasizes the technical and stylistic interplay between the composer's structural complexity and the organ's distinct timbre. ETERNA releases during this period were instrumental in documenting the heritage of Central German instruments, and Köbler’s interpretations were received as academic and reverent, intended to preserve the liturgical and concert tradition of the Saxon organ school for an international audience of musicologists and enthusiasts.
