  • Description

    The 2-CD set Opera Omnia XVII is the seventh volume of Vocal Music in the critically acclaimed series of recordings of the complete works of Dieterich Buxtehude from acclaimed early music specialist Ton Koopman and Amsterdam Baroque. It features chorale settings, arias, ciacconas, concertos, and a cantata.

    Buxtehude's vocal compositions represent all major genres used in Lutheran church music during the later half of the 17th century. They include in particular chorale settings, concertos on biblical texts, arias on contemporary sacred poetry, dialogues, and composite forms such as concertos, arias, and cantatas. Pre-eminent among these were settings based on traditional songs from the church hymnal known as chorales. Among other works this volume includes the chorale settings "All solch dein Güt' wir preisen" and "Herzlich tut mich verlangen", the aria "An filius non est Dei, fons gratiae salus mei", the ciacconas "Laudate, pueri, Dominum" and "Quemadmodum desiderat cervus", concertos, and a cantata.



    Ton Koopman is one of the world's foremost early music specialists and directors. His recording of the complete Bach Cantatas on Challenge Classics received worldwide acclaim. In recent years he has undertaken the daunting task of recording all of the music of his compatriot, Dieterich Buxtehude. As president of the International Dieterich Buxtehude Society, Ton Koopman is considered to be one of the world's leading authorities on his music.



    Personnel: Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra, Ton Koopman (organ, director), Amaryllis Dieltiens, Gerlinde Sämann, Dorothee Wohlgemuth (soprano), Maarten Engeltjes (alto), Tilman Lichdi (tenor), Klaus Mertens (bass)
