The organ in Wiefelstede, built by Christian Vater between 1729 and 1731, has the largest original inventory of an instrument created by Vater, despite being rebuilt in the 19th century. Bart Jacobs, titular organist of the Brussels Cathedral of St. Michael and St. Gudula, offers a journey through the North German organ school. He logically begins with Heinrich Scheidemann and Samuel Scheidt, both of whom were pupils of Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck in Amsterdam. He then moved on to Matthias Weckmann, Dieterich Buxtehude and Georg Böhm, whom Bach had met during his school days in Lüneburg. With Christoph Wolfgang Druckenmüller, organist in the Altes Land and at Verden Cathedral until his death in 1741, Jacobs concludes with a look at the development of North German organ music in the first half of the 18th century.
