Title: Thank you Jesus
Product review: This is one of the most beautiful choral CD's that one could hope for. The music is sublime - cantata settings by one of the finest mid-Baroque composers - and the performances are of a luminosity that takes the breath away. I have taken the piece Jesu meines lebens leben and put it on repeat to listen to it over and over in a meditative way. It is here where the earthy Lutheran spirituality of Buxtehude comes into play. Even if one doesn't understand German, the steady pulse of the ground bass captures one, as does the text "Jesus I thank you a thousand time a thousand" (English and German quite close here).I am also familiar with the Ton Koopman collection on Erato, which uses soloists throughout. I find these performances slightly less inspirational than the present one but it too warrents repeated listening to really appreciate the depth of this wonderful music.
