Dietrich Buxtehude (1637-1707)
1/5. Donald Macleod is joined by Ton Koopman , who has decided to dedicate the next five years of his life to recording every note of extant music by Buxtehude. Together they explore the composer's wide-ranging duties in Lubeck, which included not just playing the organ but also repairing it, and even keeping the town's record of births and deaths.
