O Gottes Stadt, O Güldnes Licht (Cd)

Dieterich Buxtehude

During the Buxtehude commemorative year 2007 Carus is concentrating on his vocal works, which have been neglected for so long. This series begins with the production of three CDs featuring a selection of his solo cantatas for soprano, some of which are world premiere recordings. Under the direction of Wolfgang Katschner, Barbara Christian Steude and the Lautten Compagney have produced a convincing plea which should do more to place the vocal compositions of Buxtehude in a fairer light.
