About

This is the sixth volume of Vocal Music (Opera Omnia XVI) in the critically acclaimed series of the complete works of Dieterich Buxtehude from acclaimed early music specialist Ton Koopman and the Amsterdam Baroque. It features “Membra Jesu Nostri”, a rarely recorded sacred cantata based on 13th century lyric poetry.

The seven-part cantata cycle “Membra Jesu Nostri” owes its origin to the close and lasting friendship between two musicians, the Lübeck organist Dieterich Buxtehude and the Stockholm organist and capellmeister Gustav Düben. It seems likely that Düben commissioned the “Membra” from his friend for performances in Stockholm. “Membra Jesu Nostri Patientis Sanctissimi” is a multi-sectional sacred work of non-liturgical character based on lyric poetry of medieval mysticism usually attributed to St. Bernard of Clairvaux, but more likely written by Arnulf of Louvain (1200-1250). The source for Buxtehude’s text seems to have been an edition published 1633 in Hamburg under the heading “D. Bernhardi Oratio Rhythmica”.

Ton Koopman is one of the world’s foremost early music specialists and directors. In recent years his recordings of the complete Bach Cantatas with Amsterdam Baroque on Challenge Classics have received worldwide acclaim. Since then he has undertaken the daunting task of recording all of the music of his compatriot Dieterich Buxtehude. As president of the International Buxtehude Society, Ton Koopman is considered to be one of the world’s leading authorities on his music. Amongst a string of accolades for previous recordings in the series Opera Omnia X, (CC72249), was a Gramophone “Editor’s Choice”

November 2012

This time he has reduced his group to 20 singers plus five soloists...What hasn't changed is Koopman's easy rapport with Buxtehude's supple piety. Koopman captures the fascinating creative tension between the text, which is rooted in Catholic mysiticism, and a sense of Buxtehude the northern Lutheran.

October 2012

His choice of five cooperative team soloists marks a transformation from the conventional oratorio-style all-star soloists he employed a quarter-century ago...[the sopranos'] confident embellishments go some way to compensating for occasional shrillness and dodgy tuning...I enjoyed Koopman's customarily elaborate yet intelligent organ realisation.

July 2012

This disc presents a subtle, delicately-articulated, gentle yet penetrating account of Buxtehude's seven-part cantata cycle...The singing and playing, the sensitivity to the particularities as much as to the idiom of Buxtehude's beautiful music, the meticulous execution with both attention to detail and a holistic understanding of the composer's motives make this CD shine as much as any in the series.
