In 1987, the occasion of the 350th anniversary of the birth of Buxtehude, Ricercar published a first disc devoted to his cantatas. Subsequently the collection of German Baroque Cantatas was enriched by other works of the great composer. In this year of the tercentenary of his death, here is a reissue of this selection that gives a fairly complete idea of ​​the different styles that, starting from the legacy of his master Tunder, announce the compositions of the generation of Bach. Using Latin and German texts, these spiritual concerts are both emotionally (or even theatrically) remarkable for vocal writing and the complicity of the instrumental parts with those of the singers.
