The romantic organs from the 19th century used to be looked upon with disdain during the rerival period of the baroque organ, but today the passage of time as tempered our views and allowing us to reevaluate these extraordinary instruments from the distance of the 21st century.

The Sauer organ in the Berlin Cathedral narrowly survived the WWII bombardment that tore away large parts of the building around it. The majority of the instrument is still in original condition, which gives us the unique chance to hear sounds from a past century.
