Three composers, two traditions: Buxtehude and Bach, both firmly anchored in the North-German Lutheran tradition of church music, and Couperin equally strongly tied to his French Catholic musical heritage. A colourful mix of sacred and secular works for organ, which includes Buxtehude’s famous Passacaglia in D minor.
