“Those enamoured of opulent voices may wonder why Emma Kirkby is the undisputed first lady of early music, but this anthology of Buxtehude's music for solo voice and instruments captures much of what makes her so special: she has acute awareness of dance forms in her delivery of rhythms (even in slower music), a crystalclear tone, superb agility in quick passages, and a marvellous sense of rhetorical communication.
The mournfully sublime Klaglied (BuxWV76 No 2) is movingly performed. Also superb is the lovely 12-minute O dulcis Jesu.
Ritornelli are beautifully articulated by violinists John Holloway and Manfred Kraemer, and Lars Ulrik Mortensen's organ continuo is delightful. The programme is 100 per cent authentic Buxtehude, spellbindingly performed, with an excellent essay by the leading authority Kerala Snyder (although sung texts are not included). Emma Kirkby and her accomplices do more to illustrate why he is the supreme genius of the generation before JS Bach.” Gramophone Classical Music Guide, 2010 “Kirkby seems to go from strength to strength and here I was particularly struck by the warm resonance of her mezzo range... an outstanding release” BBC Music Magazine | | | (also available to download from $6.00) | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
