Complete Organ Works Vol.5

Christopher Herrick (Aubertin organ of Mariager Klosterkirke, Denmark)

Met dit vijfde deel sluit Christopher Herrick zijn complete opname af van de orgelwerken van Dietrich Buxtehude - waaronder de voortreffelijke Prelude in C-groot, BuxWV137, en de Choral Fantasy op het kerstlied "Gelobet seist du, Jesu Christ". Deze keer brachten de opnamen de organist naar de Mariager kloosterkerk in Denemarken.

"Even the merest pieces speak volumes about the composer's imagination, virtuosity and originality...Herrick was almost seventy when this recording was made...Yet his fingers, feet and musical intelligence remain as nimble and sure as ever...this set ought to be the primary destination for collectors."
MusicWeb International - January 2013

"Outstanding competition and the revisiting of material must in no way prove a barrier to anyone with even a vague interest in Buxtehude's organ music, for this is a simply splendid disc...Above all, of course, is Herrick's immensely enjoyable playing...Big Preludiae are delivered with grace and style, majestic rather than aggressive. All in all a delight to the ears which brings a smile to the face and a lift to the soul."
