 Beautiful if you like the organ
By Vlmastra
I’m very surprised this hasn’t gotten any reviews! This is good music, and you’ll like it if you like Bach’s organ compositions. Buxtehude had a strong influence on Bach, the latter of which traveled over 400 km to see the former, and stayed for three months. The CD begins with a very grand and virtuosic praeludium, a specialty of Buxtehude, which lasts nine and a half minutes. This is followed by relaxed, beautiful choral preludes, similar to some of Bach’s choral preludes. This is followed by a chaconne, two more chorale preludes (including the famous Ein feste Burg ist unser Gott), a setting of the Te Deum, two more choral preludes framing a passacaglia, and a final Praeludium of eleven minutes. Wolfgang Rubsam is a talented organist and he chooses all the right stops for these works. This is a good disc if you want to explore the composer who had a strong influence on Bach.
