This latest addition to Christopher Herrick's acclaimed Buxtehude catalogue is performed on the magnificent Organ of Trinity College Chapel, Cambridge.
Everything heard on this disc was composed over three-hundred years ago when printed music was a rarity and organists were required to be highly proficient in the art of improvisation. Certainly none of Buxtehude's organ works was printed in his lifetime, and it was not until 1875 that they first became available. Herrick's communication is exceptional in these stimulating performances and his inspired interpretations are so vivid that they appear improvisatory in their approach.
