Buxtehude – Complete Organ Works [Disc 2]....

Image

This disc contained music composed for the Christmas/Epiphany period. So, if Simon is lurking, after more studied listening the works that were of particular interest to me were....

1. Praeludium in C BuxWV 137; for its juxtaposition of heavier and lighter episodes and the big, powerful bass in there as well.

2. Lobt Gott, ihr Christen allzugleich BuxWV 202; a simple, lovely melody and quite short.

3. Praeludium in G BuxWV 162; I liked the contemplatory nature of this work with its revelatory section at the end.
