4.0 out of 5 stars
Delightful vocal music, June 11, 2000
This review is from: Buxtehude: Vocal Music, Vol. 1 (Audio CD)
Dietrich Buxtehude (1637-1707) lived his entire life in North German and Denmark. He held a position as an organist in Lübeck and Helsingør. A postion that never required him to compose vocal music, yet he left over 120 vokal works in a wide range of compositional styles and texts almost entirely sacred. The beautifully soprano Emma Kirkby sings these songs with infectious charm and with great attachment to the music. Accompaniments are stylish and well balanced, and the recording is altogether first rate.
