Born fifty years after Heinrich Schütz, the ‘father of German music’, and little less than half a century before J.S. Bach, Dietrich Buxtehude provided a link between the founder of Protestant Baroque music and its greatest master. While Buxtehude's organ music is comparatively well known, his harpsichord music has attracted less attention.
The third volume of the present series includes two Suites of French dances and the brilliant series of variations on an aria under the title La Capricciosa.

“This recording is perhaps the most essential of the three discs so far released in this series. The Aria: ‘La Capricciosa’ is undoubtedly Buxtehude's masterpiece, and probably a model for Bach's Goldberg Variations. Another excellent recording that all lovers of harpsichord music should own.”
