Always enjoy listening to Dieterich Buxtehude, so full of invention and vigour in his work. This is an excellent performance. That final fugue could, along with several of his works, rival those of Bach, one of his most famous successors.
This series of the works of Buxtehude played by Harald Vogel on various Schnitger organs was recommended to me by Piet Kee, no less, in the 1990s. I'm pleased with the recommendation.
At least it is the only one i've found so far that is not much too fast.... Everyone just rushes through it, as a listener, without sheet music, you cannot get all the beatiful smart melodies over the pedal theme in the beginning, when it is played too fast. For this reason, i like this recording very much, because you can listen to every single note!
Agreed. I believe these composers intended for the counterpoint to remain clear throughout. Sometimes, cutting back on speed in the interests of clarity is essential.
One might also check out Hans Davidsson’s complete Buxtehude recordings on Loft. He plays the large meantone “North German Baroque Organ” in Gothenburg. Both organists and organs are excellent.
I got this masterfully organ works and i tell to myself this is the most closer and he really understand this complex work by Buxtehude i've heard the Koopman's version and it is not the same it's clear of course, and another one played by Ullrik Spang-Hanssen and still remain quite shortly as you compare of Vogel's performance, in a few words; Vogel is a master after Buxtehude and his version the most trusted my utmost respect to him
Yes, I agree with you! I think nowadays Vogel can show Buxtehude's grandiosity much better than in the 80's. Vogel's way of playing has changed throughout the last 30 years.
Michael Martens Your last name is very similar to the dutch bass "Klaus Mertens" for a while i thought that it was like this. But I agree with you also, during this last 30 years he has changed our perception and comprehension of D.Buxtehude, now i clearly understand why Bach made that trip from Eisenach to Lübeck just to remain for four weeks apparently but it was four months, who would not?
Alejandro Lopez Thanks for your response, I take it as a compliment ;-) There are thousands of Martens' at the North Sea coast and somewhere else throughout the whole world ;-) If you have to do with singing f.e. during practical studies of sacred music, you discover that Buxtehude's music is "vocal" troughout every single voice -listen to the Ciacona in e minor BuxWV160. Unfortunately I don't find a video supporting my intention... If Buxtehude lived, I would already have visited him as often as possible.
Michael Martens Thanks for your response, it seems that it has settle down a good conversation, i can imagine that haha, yes, it is a compliment. Well, you can see that in this work "In dulci jubilo BuxWV 52" is clearly vocal, but in organ is far away from just to be beautiful is more than that. Listen to the "Toccata in D minor BuxWV 155" this work wrapped up.
That relief looks Ugaritic but I’m not sure. I thought it might be the god El, but I didn’t see any clear horns. Then I thought Baal because of the hat and the staff, which looks as a cross between a stalk of grain and a lightning bolt. Don’t quote me on it though.
I'm quite sure that it is a seal impression rather than a relief. Since that is a so called 'presentation scene', I think that it might belong to the Ur III dinasty, but I'm really not too sure, because of the iconography of the seated god and his horns. The way in which the inscription is carved makes me think that it is sumerian, but I'm not able to read it yet. By the way, I'm wondering about the choice made by the author of the video! Quite curious
So well played!! I never get tired of listening to this rendition!

@@MrGar11 I LOVE BuxWV 218. I should listen to it more often.
L organaio un genio acustica perfetta.

I like to admit that this version is the best although I know there is not one the best...

The Buxtehude's "Opera Omnia" for organ performed by Harald Vogel in 7 CDs (MD+G) is a real masterpiece !
Bravo bravo bravo brilliance fantastic grandiose genial music super
Extraordinary
Super style, lots of fantasy and not too fast. Nice
