Buxtehude Sonatas
Program: Biscuits & Bach
Aired: Sunday, February 3, 2019 @ 7:00 am
Hosted by Rachel Stewart
Dietrich Buxtehude (1637-1707) was organist at St. Mary’s Church in Lübeck for nearly 40 years and was highly esteemed by the generation of German composers who came after him, namely Bach, Telemann, and Handel.
As a young man, Bach walked almost 250 miles to Lübeck and stayed there three months to hear Buxtehude play the organ and as he (Bach) wrote, "to comprehend one thing and another about his art."
This week we’ll explore an album of Buxtehude sonatas for violin, viola da gamba, and harpsichord from the Naxos label.
And Rachel talks with Perre Coleman Magness about her cookbook, Southern Snacks: 77 Recipes for Small Bites with Big Flavors. Magness will share some tips for hosting a successful Super Bowl party.
