Description
Completing the series, organist Harald Vogel has created a special package celebrating not only the end of the series but also the organs he recorded on themselves.
"The MDG engineering team responsible for these recordings has done a sterling job providing excellent clarity with pleasing balance and, given the number of locations used, the consistency is excellent." Musicweb International
The 7 CD Box set is comprised of 140-page informative booklet which has been revised and contains extended text by Harald Vogel. It also contains a 32-page full colour booklet with pictures of the 17 organs and their dispositions and registrations plus a DVD about the famous Schnitger-Organ in Cappel.
Critics have said of this series:
Alte Musik aktuell
"The concept of this series is fantastic. Buxtehude's organ
works are not interpreted on a single instrument, but serve
to represent the North German and Dutch organ building
traditions. Several organs are presented in detail on each
CD, and a precise registration plan also helps to better hear
the disposition. The already high editorial value is further
enhanced by a careful recording technique".
Musica sacra
"scientifically founded living organ music."
Diapason
"One would be hard pressed to fine a more authoritative
rendition of these works by Buxtehude. . . destined to
become the definitive recordings of one of the most
important and influential composers of organ music."
Fanfare
"… undisputably world-class: Harald Vogel on MDG."
