Dietrich Buxtehude - Membra Jesu Nostri - Collectors Mine

Buxtehude: The Greatest German Composer between Schütz and Bach. In 1680 the organist of the Marienkirche in Lübeck wrote a highly unusual cycle of cantatas based on a medieval Latin hymn, Slave mundi salutare, which has since become a classic of Baroque scared music. The imaginative contemplation of the suffering of Christ from feet (Ad pedes) to face (Ad faciem) - by way of the knees, the hands, the side, the breast and the heart - has already been recorded once by harmonia mudi, back in 1990. Now you can admire the same performers in a film dating from 2005, naturally still conducted by Rene Jacobs!
