Generalist listeners tend to know the German-Danish Baroque composer Dietrich Buxtehude through a few organ works that one imagines were the ones Bach walked hundreds of miles to hear as a young man -- dense treatments of chorales and some big quasi-improvisatory-movement-and-fugue combinations that you could put on your stereo and rattle not only ...
The rudimentary symphonies of Johann Ernst Hartmann the Elder may be charming artifacts of early Classicism -- comparable to works produced by Sammartini, the Mannheim School, or other practitioners of the nascent form -- but they are not especially interesting beyond their historical aspects. Perhaps due to an obligation to fill gaps in their ...
After decades during which the unaccompanied violin sonatas and partitas of Bach stood alone, regarded by all but specialists as rather freakish musical occurrences, recent years have seen a growth of interest in the virtuoso violin repertory of the Baroque. Composers like Biber, Pisendel, and Tartini have all shown up with increasing frequency on ...
The Seven Sonatas, Op. 1, of Dietrich Buxtehude, published around 1694, date from the later years of the composer's career as organist at St. Mary's Church in Lübeck. Written for violin, viola da gamba, and keyboard continuo, they juggle not two but three different worlds: these sonatas, most of them in four multi-sectional movements, deftly join ...
This Naxos issue of Dietrich Buxtehude: Vocal Music, Vol. 1, was originally issued on Dacapo in Denmark in 1996.

Kirkby resumed ...
One barrier, at least for American listeners, to comprehending the Danish label DaCapo's Palschau/Schulz: Concertos and Solo Works for Harpsichord is the great unfamiliarity of these names. Johann Gottfried Wilhelm Palschau is certainly a name known to very few; he was a Danish-born musician whose European reputation as a harpsichord virtuoso was ...
After recording the complete solo fortepiano works of Haydn, it was inevitable that Ronald Brautigam would record the complete fortepiano concertos of Haydn. Of course, it helps that while Haydn's complete solo fortepiano works take up 11 discs, his complete fortepiano concertos take up only a single disc, so Brautigam could record it before ...
Dietrich Buxtehude: Vocal Music, Vol. 1, was the start of an intended series on the Dacapo label of Denmark begun in 1996 and this was the only volume issued. It features Emma Kirkby with John Holloway and Manfred Kraemer on violins, Jaap ter Linden on viola da gamba, and Lars Ulrik Mortensen on organ. Although Buxtehude's Membra Jesu Nostri is ...
