5.0 out of 5 stars Buxtehude's Greatest Harpsichord Works in a Fine Recording, Jun 5 2007

By Paul Van de Water - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Complete Works Vol. 1 (Audio CD)

Ton Koopman begins his pathbreaking set of the complete works (opera omnia, in Latin) of Buxtehude with the composer's major compositions for harpsichord. If you like Bach's harpsichord works, you will definitely enjoy making Buxtehude's acquaintance in this fine recording.

The largest and most famous piece included here is "La Capricciosa" (BuxWV 250)--a work based on an Italian dance. According to Buxtehude expert Kerala Snyder, Bach may have modeled his "Goldberg Variations" on "La Capricciosa," which is also "a virtuoso showpiece consisting of 32 variations on an aria in G major." This work is already available in two excellent recordings--by Lars Ulrik Mortenson on Naxos (Buxtehude: Suites in A major and F major; La Capricciosa) and by Gavin Black on PGM. Mortenson (Buxtehude: Suites in G minor & E minor; More Palatino; Courant Zimble) and Black have also recorded Buxtehude's 12 variations on "More Palatino" (BuxWV 247), as well as some of the suites on the new Koopman set. If you don't have those recordings (Black's are out of print), get the Koopman. As always, Koopman plays with dexterity, spirit, and (when necessary) profundity.

You will find Koopman's second and final volume of Buxtehude's harpsichord works at Buxtehude: Opera Omnia VI.
