Dieterich Buxtehude: Ich habe Lust abzuscheiden, BuxWV 47

Ich habe Lust abzuscheiden
Spann aus, spann aus, ach frommer Gott
Dann was ist doch die schnode Welt
Wie einer, welcher auf dem Meer
So spann doch aus, ach frommer Gott
Dieterich Buxtehude: Salve, Jesu, Patris gnate unigenite, BuxWV 94
Sonata
Salve, Jesu, Patris, gnate, unigenite
O vis amoris tui, Jesu, maxima!
Cur fasciis te involvis laceris, Jesule
Cur alges, qui fulmina dira vibras
O suavis, o grandis amor, o fortis amor
Jesu, opstupesco, in quem amorem tui colliquesco
Dieterich Buxtehude: Jesu dulcis memoria, BuxWV 56
Jesu dulcis memoria
Nil canitur suavius
Jesu, spes poenitentibus
Jesu, dulcedo cordium
Nec lingua valet dicere
Jesu, rex admirabilis
Mane nobiscum, Domine
Amor Jesu dulcissimus
Jesu dulcis memoria

“Several of these Sacred Cantatas by Buxtehude aren't otherwise available, and if you'd like to put some flesh on the bare bones of the man admired, and eclipsed, by Bach, then I can't currently think of a nicer way of doing it.”
2010
“Setting various German and Latin texts for solo voices, violins and continuo, these sacred cantatas are typical products of the late 17th century in their pragmatic approach to form. Here are patchworks such as Jesu dulcis memoria and Salve, Jesu, Patris gnate unigenite; chorale or song variations such as Jesu, meine Freude; and others, like Ich halte es dafür and Ich habe Lustabzuscheiden, which combine the two. CantateDomino is liltingly Italianate, Mein Herz ist bereit is an agile showpiece for solo bass, while Herr, wennich nur dich hab is a set of variations over a ground bass. The Purcell Quartet's essential string sound has always been sweet, airy and lucid, and it's interesting to hear how that has been transferred here from the instrumental sphere to the vocal. To this end the choice of singers is important, and on this occasion they could hardly have picked more shrewdly: Emma Kirkby and Suzie LeBlanc make an excellent pairing, distinguishable from each other in both voice and approach, yet at the same time superbly matched in duet; and Peter Harvey has the friendliest of bass voices, his alert account of Mein Herz ist bereit, set against the thrillingly radiant background of three violins, being one of the disc's highlights. An expert recording in an amenable acoustic completes a release of many refined pleasures.”
