Flentrop Orgelbouw Zaandam: pipe organ building, pipe organ restoration
Schnitger in Norway, CD new organ Dypvåg
The
new organ in Dypvåg (2019) is built in a North German Baroque style,
suitable for 17th and 18th century music. The compact two-manual organ
is inspired by the Schnitger organ in Dedesdorf. Due to architectural
limitations, the pipework of both manuals is placed on one windchest in
a row (twin drawer). The organ is classically made, with a diversity of
colors and characters and a natural, direct touch. This gives the
organist maximum control over the sound and the speaking of the pipes.
Organist Hans van der Meijden plays works of Bach, Buxtehude, Goudimel, Böhm and Tunder. “This organ is a treasure that must be played by skillful hands. Its specific style and very limited size require the organist to be creative in his or her registrations and sensitive to explore the beauty it contains. But when played with this care, the instrument will reward the organist and the congregation with a sound quality that touches the heart.”

CD Master and Apprentice, Organ Sint-Niklaas
The
organ in the Sint Nicolaaskerk in Sint-Niklaas is inspired by the North
German Baroque and built in 2 phases. In 1997 was the delivery of the
main work and the organ case with complete front by the Belgian organ
builder Draps. In 2007 Flentrop completed the organ with the other
works; windchests, mechanisms and pipes for the positive and upper
manuals and pedal. Improvements were made to the main work in
2009/2010. In 2013 the too thin front pipes from the first phase were
renewed.
Organist and organbuilder Yu Nagayama plays works of Buxtehude, J.S. Bach, W.F. Bach en Bruhns. "On the CD we hear diverse facets of the master-apprentice connection. In some cases this involves an almost identical type of composition, in others, pratice materials or an audition piece. Often we recognise the sound of the master in his students compositions. The apprentice could have taken a totally different approach; however, he opts to remain true to his spiritual father."

Dijk

Hinsz organ in Bolsward and the Flentrop organ in Hamburg.

CD Sietze de Vries - Katharinenkirche
In 2013, Flentrop completed the
reconstruction of the Reincken organ in the Katharin Church in Hamburg.
The original organ was almost completely lost in 1943. On the basis of
leftover, abandoned pipe work and a profound organ-archaeological
research, Flentrop managed to build an organ that seems to have
appeared from 1720. The result achieved is a stunning piece of
craftsmanship and artistry. Sietze de Vries was awarded one of the
first Dutch organizers to record a CD on this beautiful organ.
Hamburg - Regina Renata
The first CD on which the new Catharine organ is heard in full
glory. Andreas Fischer, Pieter van Dijk and Wolfgang Zerer play
Scheidemann, Reincken and Bach, but also Degenhardt and Distler.
