During the 17th century, Nuremberg was one of the leading music centres in Germany. Organists were the main carriers of musical life here, usually writing vocal and instrumental works alongside Clavierwerke. The activities and production of famous Nuremberg organists were determined by the continuity of a teaching tradition, probably unique in Germany, that spanned five generations. Early Music by Staden, Pachelbel, Hassler, Kindermann and others, including some Premiere Recordings!
