Buxtehude’s Membra Jesu Nostri is a cycle of seven meditations on the wounds of Christ. These contemplations are contrasted by elaborate settings of biblical passages. This work is complemented by “Peaceful and joyous journey to heaven” which Buxtehude completed on the death of his father. All are performed by the renowned La Petite Band.

“Kuijken continues to be a relentless pioneer of Baroque music practice; in recent years he has embraced the one-voice-per-part approach to Bach's church music and has also reappraised several cornerstones of Baroque repertoire using a violoncello da spalla...Both elements are evident in La Petite Bande's performance of Membra Jesu nostri.”

“[tenor Jens Weber] has a very attractive light and smooth voice, though no without strain in the upper register. Kuijken's alto, the countertenor Gunther Vandeven, is excellent. Perhaps surprisingly, the most impressive singer is the Italian bass Fulvio Bettini: he is tonally flexible, rhythmically sensitive and affecting.”
