Georg Bohm (1661-1733), Nicolaus Bruhns (1665-1697) and Dietrich Buxtehude (1637-1707) were renowned throughout 17th-century
Germany as organists and composers. All three cast an influence upon Bach, who as a young man walked 200 miles to hear Buxtehude play, was a friend of Bohm, and knew Bruhns as the virtuoso who could play organ and violin simultaneously. This week's programmes explore the composers' keyboard, chamber and church music, and look at their relationships with each other, the musical world they lived in, and their more famous successor.
