Dietrich Buxtehude was not only the greatest organ virtuoso of his time and a celebrated composer of both sacred and secular music; he was also a highly enterprising and innovative artist with a unique ability to form networks around himself. This CD, conceived by Theatre of Voices and Paul Hillier, gives a rare insight into circle around Buxtehude - a musical circle of time, place, friendships, teacher-pupil relationships and even family membership; a network of excellent composers from Northern German musician families, all of whom worked in or migrated to Scandinavia in the course of the 1600s.
