Dietrich Buxtehude (c. 1637-1707) was active for nearly forty years as an organist at the St. Mary's Church in Lübeck and was one of the main figures in church music of the time. Buxtehude's vocal music for the church, his organ music, and other instrumental works was praised by composers such as Heinrich Schütz and J.S. Bach, who studied at Buxtehude in Lübeck as a young man himself. John Holloway, Jaap ter Linden, and Lars Ulrik Mortensen launch their groundbreaking series with chamber music by Buxtehude with this first volume.
