Buxtehude: Organ Works Vol. 2

Christopher Herrick's acclaimed series of Buxtehude's complete organ works continues with a selection of his praeludia, toccatas, ostinato works, and canzonas, interspersed with chorale preludes and variations. For this disc he turns to the magnificent organ of Trondheim Cathedral in Norway, originally built by Joachim Wagner (1690-1749) and restored to its former baroque glory in 1994.

'The magnificent 1741 Wagner organ in Trondheim's Nidaros Cathedral. In possession of some pugnacious reeds and a thrilling 'pleno', it's an ideal choice for a disc which includes some big-boned praeludia as well as Buxtehude's most extended organ work: the imposing Fantasia on the Te Deum whose architectural acuity Herrick unfolds with magisterial authority ... Herrick's flair for apposite registration illuminates at every turn ... Sonorously splendiferous' (BBC Music Magazine)

'The ambitions Te Deum and the grand Praeludium in C major confirm Buxtehude's inspiring originality. No wonder the young Bach once walked 200 miles to hear him play' (The Observer)

Gramophone Magazine
Herrick brings a convincing sense of fluidity and a quasi-extemporaneous flair to the music... The recorded sound is ideal with traffic rumble minimised. Another triumph!
