Dietrich Buxtehude Collection [17CD Box Set] (2025) MP3
MP3 320 Kbps | Classical | 2.56 Gb
With this exemplary set, Brilliant Classics has formed a vivid picture of the composer Dietrich Buxtehude across the most important sectors of his output, drawing on a rich back catalogue crowned with new recordings.
More than half of the set is devoted to the ambitious, monumental recording cycle of the complete keyboard music on 10 CDs undertaken by organist–harpsichordist and label stalwart Simone Stella in 2010–11. This pride of place for the solo keyboard is natural considering Buxtehude’s own prodigious gifts as a performer on the instruments – and it is this repertoire, through its ease of dissemination, that exerted his compositional influence most widely on the generations to come, which included the great J.S. Bach and G.F. Handel, born almost 50 years later.
But his works in vocal idioms were equally ground-breaking. For this, Brilliant have licensed important sets from 1996 and 2000 of cantatas for small and larger forces originally issued on the Dacapo label, of Buxtehude’s native Denmark, featuring the great Emma Kirkby and Danish bass Johan Reuter, as well as a 2002 Canadian recording of cantatas for one, two and three soloists from Naxos. Brilliant Classics supplement these treasures with a vocal gem in their own catalogue: Buxtehude’s great cycle of seven cantatas, Membra Jesu nostri, in a 2021 recording by Groningen’s Luthers Bach Ensemble.
Finally, the chamber music is offered in a new release from Amsterdam-based ensemble Fantasticus, recorded in 2023 and comprising the Trio Sonatas Opp. 1 & 2, with an addendum of sonatas in manuscript, on 3 CDs.
Other information
- Recordings date from 1996–2023
- 32-page booklet in English contains extensive liner notes by Simone Stella (keyboard music),Tymen Jan Bronda (Membra Jesu nostri), Jon Baxendale (chamber music), Kerala Snyder (vocal music) and Kevin Mallon (sacred cantatas)
- Dietrich Buxtehude (c. 1637–1707) was a Danish-German composer and organist. He is recognized for bridging Renaissance and Baroque musical traditions, influencing composers such as J.S. Bach and George Frideric Handel.
- Born in either Helsingborg, Sweden, or Helsingør, Denmark (the exact location remains uncertain), Buxtehude spent much of his career in Lübeck, Germany, where he served as organist at the Marienkirche (St. Mary's Church) from 1668 until his death.
- As a composer, Buxtehude is recognized for his organ works, including preludes, fugues, and chorale variations. His music blends intricate counterpoint with an expressive, almost improvisational character, making him one of the most significant figures in early Baroque music. His Abendmusiken concerts, held in Lübeck, became famous throughout Europe, attracting musicians from far and wide, including a young Johann Sebastian Bach, who famously walked over 250 miles to study with him.
- Buxtehude composed a wide variety of vocal and instrumental works, including cantatas, sonatas, and oratorios. His sacred music, marked by its spiritual depth and complex textures, remains a significant part of the Baroque choral repertoire.
- This comprehensive collection contains the complete organ music, harpsichord music, chamber music, and a variety of choral works, among which the famous and moving “Membra Jesu Nostri”.
- Excellent performances by keyboard player Simone Stella, Peter-Jan Belder and his ensemble, the Luthers Bach Ensemble.
