Product Description
Album Description
This is the ninth release in a series of recordings which is presenting the complete works of Dieterich Buxtehude, and the fourth volume devoted to his organ works. 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.
Dieterich Buxtehude's organ works are his most significant contribution to the history of music. They consist of a comprehensive corpus of just 90 compositions, of which more than half are chorale settings. However, these are mostly shorter than the preludes, toccatas and other freely conceived pieces, so these last represent a more substantial share of his entire output.
Five different types of pieces are included among the works collected in this CD, all representing distinct genres of improvisatory styles that make up the broad spectrum of the daily practice of organists in Lutheran Germany, whether designed as functional music for worship services, for presenting them in recitals, or for purposes of compositional study.
Ton Koopman studied organ with Simon C. Jansen and harpsichord with Gustav Leonhardt, alongside musicology in Amsterdam and was awarded the Prix d'Excellence for both instruments. As an organist he has performed and ecorded on the most prestigious historical instruments of Europe.
