What better way to mark the 300th anniversary of Buxtehudes death in 1707 than
with this wonderful box-set? Its 77 tracks reaffirm what a central figure
Buxtehude was to subsequent generations of Northern European organists working
in the German Lutheran tradition.
These recordings (made between 2003 and 2006) are played on two historic
Schnitger instruments in the Ludgerikirche, Norden, and the Martinkerk,
Groningen, two recent organs in Hoogstraten (near Antwerp) and the German
Church, Stockholm, and the reconstructed Lorentz-Frietzsch organ in Helsingors
St Maria Church, parts of which Buxtehude himself played.
The 19 organ praeludia form the core of Buxtehudes organ oeuvre and are
considered his most important contributions to the 17thcentury literature. Their
quasi-improvisatory flair and brilliance always sounds spontaneous, at times
quite extrovert. Foccroulle wisely contrasts them with the much plainer
devotional chorale settings. He teases endlessly fresh solo timbres from these
striking instruments.
The variety of tuning temperaments keeps the ear alert and the playing is
constantly inspiring.
The careful juxtaposition of pieces means that each disc makes a highly
satisfying programme in its own right. By way of an epilogue the set concludes
with the poignant Klag-Lied for organ and vocal duet. Other complete Buxtehude
organ sets have clearly been superseded by this release.
