Product Description
The Guardian, (Andrew Clements), July 4, 2008
Outstanding period band...Buxtehude's deft contrapuntal textures are beautifully wrought...the carefully matched singers from Koopman's choir intertwine to magical effect.
Album Description
The seventh and final release in the series of recordings presenting the complete works of the highly influential 17th century composer Dieterich Buxtehude is the third disc to feature the composer's vocal and choral music. The cycle is being produced by one of the world's foremost experts in early music performance, the Dutch keyboard player and musical director Ton Koopman. Who as president of the International Dieterich Buxtehude Society is considered to be the leading authority on his music. In 2007 Koopman completed a universally acclaimed set of recordings covering the complete cantatas of J. S. Bach (also on Challenge Classics), the last volume of which, recently received a BBC Music Magazine Award for best Choral album of the year.
Buxtehude the organist expanded his activities as a vocal composer in an unprecedented way. He left a particular mark as a composer of large-scale oratorios (Abendmusiken). His oratorios have not survived, but the many other vocal compositions that have come down to us represent a substantial body of works. These include in particular larger and shorter chorale settings of various kinds, sacred concertos (i.e. motets with differentiated instrumental accompaniment), and multi-movement structures consisting of concertos, arias, and chorales that were later referred to as cantatas. As with volume V of the series, this album presents a mixed selection of works in the above mentioned genres, and features arias, concertos, and cantatas. The last recording in the cycle, Harpsichord Works Volume 2, was picked as one of the monthly choices in the BBC Music Magazine, and received plaudits from many other sources.
