"Suzuki and his team (as often the album is misattributed to a soloist, many of their cantata discs are under JS Bach) shine a light here on Bach's immediate predecessor at the Leipzig Thomaskirche, Johann Kuhnau. Also included is the Magnificat by Zelenka, and to dwarf them both, the setting by JS Bach, one his greatest works. They bring all of it off with customary clarity and sense of the liturgical." less

"THE recording of the music of this period - it doesn't get any better" less

"Bach famously walked to Lubeck to hea..." more

"Bach famously walked to Lubeck to hear the grand master play - this begins one of a number of complete cycles of his organ works on emusic to help us find out why." less

"At last, available vocal music from a neglected German master" less

"Don't dismiss the Da Capo Buxtehude s..." more

"Don't dismiss the Da Capo Buxtehude series from the 1990s. Emma Kirkby shines here in some glorious music for voice and chamber forces." less

"Only track 1 is from a family predecessor, but still a great disc with typical fine playing from Florilegium and excellent recording" less

"More anniversary vocal music this tim..." more

"More anniversary vocal music this time in a well-received recording with a big church sound, and some fine solo singing." less

"The least known of the three Ss (Schutz, Scheidt....)" less

"Cantatas from Bruhns, Riedel and Beck..." more

"Koopman's comprehensive Buxtehude cyc..." more

"Koopman's comprehensive Buxtehude cycle is now complete and available on emusic. Tracks enough to keep even the greatest enthusiast going for years" less
