After he finished recording everything he could possibly record by J.S. Bach in 2004, Dutch keyboard player and conductor Ton Koopman turned to recording everything he could possibly record by Dietrich Buxtehude in 2005. It made perfect sense. Buxtehude was a direct inspiration for the young Bach -- the story of the younger composer trekking from ...
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 ...
Caveat emptor -- with the purchase of this disc, he or she is getting neither a work called Das jüngste Gericht nor even necessarily music by the Danish/German Baroque composer Dietrich Buxtehude. North German group Weser-Renaissance has made a name for itself with sensitive performances that are nevertheless essentially investigational in nature ...
The Lübecker Abendmusik named in the title of this disc was a concert series, held in the Marienkirche, backed by the merchants of the prosperous north German city of Lübeck in the late seventeenth century, and furnished with music by Buxtehude, and before him Franz Tunder. Buxtehude apparently also wrote some full-scale oratorios for these events ...
Having completed his years-long traversal through the vocal music of Johann Sebastian Bach for Challenge Classics, Ton Koopman picks up the thread with a valuable new series surveying the complete works of Bach's Danish predecessor Dietrich Buxtehude. While Buxtehude's total output for organ has already been surveyed, albeit infrequently, 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 ...
Membra Jesu Nostri (The Limbs of our Lord Jesus) is the single largest and most compelling of the 110 or so sacred vocal works left us by Dutch-German master Dietrich Buxtehude. Buxtehude is better known for his organ music and is rightfully acknowledged as a formative influence on Johann Sebastian Bach. However, Buxtehude's vocal output is ...
Dietrich Buxtehude is a composer whose reputation is on the rise as performers look beyond the organ works that Bach took a 300-mile stroll to hear, and find a wealth of other riches. This disc, the second of a pair issued by its performers covering the similar repertory, focuses on a group of highly accomplished religious pieces for one or more ...
This Naxos issue of Dietrich Buxtehude: Vocal Music, Vol. 1, was originally issued on Dacapo in Denmark in 1996. This intended series of Buxtehude's vocal music, featuring Emma Kirkby with John Holloway and Manfred Kraemer on violins, Jaap ter Linden on viola da gamba, and Lars Ulrik Mortensen on organ, ended with the first volume. Kirkby resumed ...
This disc is part of a series covering the complete organ music of Dietrich Buxtehude, the Danish-German composer whom the young Bach walked a few hundred miles to hear. The rising level of interest in Buxtehude is apparent from the fact that there are two such series underway, this one from Denmark's Dacapo label and another on Naxos. In the ...
The seemingly inexhaustible energies of Dutch conductor and instrumentalist Ton Koopman have now been turned to Dieterich Buxtehude, a composer whose vast output is still known only in bits and pieces. It requires a musician of Koopman's diverse talents, and the early indications for this set of Opera Omnia are positive indeed. Consider this group ...
