DIETRICH BUXTEHUDE
Organ Works Vol. 5
Bine Bryndorf, organ

Dietrich Buxtehude, composer

About
The music of the Danish-born organ master Dietrich Buxtehude (c.1637-1707) greatly influenced his rather younger contemporary J.S. Bach with its clarity of line, its elegance and its often daring harmonic invention, all combined in the so-called stylus phantasticus. Vol. 5 of this uniquely authentic recording of Buxtehude's complete organ works takes us to the Sct. Jacobi church in Hamburg, where Buxtehude studied with the great German organ composer Heinrich Scheidemann and formed other important friendships in the musical and religious life of the city.

Reviews
P2 PRIZE - DMA CLASSICAL 2007 SOLO RECORDING OF THE YEAR

A tour-de-force in every respect – the performances are magnificent, and the multichannel surround recording is equally impressive.
(Audiophile Audition)

I admire Bryndorf for her sheer musicality, brilliant technique and straightforward way of playing ... Among the current batch of new Buxtehude recordings Bryndorf's discs remain recommendable.
