Buxtehude is the subject of a composer of the week series this week on
BBC Radio 3. You may tune to

at 20:45 Greenwich time on weeknights this week, May 7 - 11. The music
that has been played before, expecially the organ works, is very
powerful and a good demonstration of Bach's indebtedness to this
precursor. An excellent commentary as well by Ton Koopman, organist
and conductor who has recorded all of Bach's cantatas and is now
engaged in a project to record all of Buxtehude's surviving works.
