5.0 out of 5 stars Superlative Buxtehude, Nov 19 2007

By Paul Van de Water - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Buxtehude: Opera Omnia V: Vocal Works, Vol. 2 (Audio CD)

Ton Koopman, Dutch conductor and organist, is president of the International Dieterich Buxtehude Society. Having recorded all of Bach's cantatas, Koopman is now embarked on recording all Buxtehude's works (opera omnia). In this fifth voume of the series, he presents 20 cantatas on two CDs.

The works of Buxtehude that are now categorized as "cantatas" represent several diverse musical styles, including chorale settings, Italianate concertos with prose texts (often Biblical), concerto-aria cantatas, strophic arias, and liturgical works. "In the hands of Buxtehude and his contemporaries," according to Buxtehude scholar Kerala Snyder, "these formerly separate genres began to borrow stylistic traits from one another." These CDs provide an attractive sampling of all of these types, as explained in the excellent notes by Christoph Wolff. Each disc begins and ends with a large-scale work featuring soloists, chorus, and orchestra (including brass). At least half of the works are not readily available elsewhere. Two canons and two Danish cantatas may well be recording premieres.

Although Buxtehude is often remembered primarily for his influence on J.S. Bach, he is increasingly recognized as a great composer in his own right. Koopman's series is of the highest quality and is clearly becoming essential for lovers of Buxtehude. If you have yet to make Buxtehude's acquaintance, this is an excellent place to start.
