It was in 1680 that the organist of the Marienkirche in Lubeck wrote this highly unusual work. In the course of this cycle of cantatas, the imaginary observer of Christ's sufferings gradually directs his gaze upwards, from the feet (cantata no.1, Ad pedes) to the face (cantata no.7: Ad faciem). A classic of German Baroque sacred music. This title was released for the first time in 2006.
The Passion according to Buxtehude. It was in 1680 that the organist of the Marienkirche of Lubeck wrote this highly unusual work for performance in the setting of his Abendmusiken ('Evening Concerts').
"This was one of the first attempts at a one-to-a-part MJN and remains one of the best. Cantus Colln were on top form here." Early Music Review, February 2015
"Junghanel was an early adopter of the one-per-part approach...and the intimate scale is beautifully judged, though occasionally upper voice solos sound a touch 'bleached'." BBC Music Magazine, Awards Issue 2015 ****
