M2 performed by the Philharmonia Orchestra/Sinopoli....
This was a strong and powerful performance from the orchestra and with some added wonderful vocals this is a welcome addition to my collection.

JS Bach – Organ Sonatas BWV 525-530 played by Christopher Wrench....
Since I first heard these works earlier this year I was captivated by them and these were really well played on a beautifully toned instrument.

Buxtehude – CD 1 of the Complete Organ Works [for Advent – Christmas] played by Urlik Spang-Hanssen....
I have revisited this music with a view to informing Simon what specific pieces by Buxtehude I like. Of the music on this particular disc these are what I would pay to hear performed live:
Praeludium in G BuxWV 163: this, to me, resembles a conversation going on between the different keyboards which ultimately gets swept away by a whirlwind at the conclusion.
Herr Christ, der einig Gottes Sohn BuxWV 191: has a lovely melody and counterpoint.
Canzonetta in G BuxWV 171: a lovely, busy little piece.
Canzona in G BuxWV 170: had a very nice pace and flow to it.
Wie schon leuchtet der Morgenstern BuxWV 223: this was a fine, engaging work that required a bit of effort on my part to follow the canon but was rewarding nonetheless.
