Buxtehude - Praeludium in g, BuxWV150 - Diederik Blankesteijn

Dietrich Buxtehude (1637-1707), Prelude in g minor, BuxWV 150, performed on the 1756 Van Deventer organ, Grote Kerk, Nijkerk (NL) by Diederik Blankesteijn (www.diederikblankesteijn.nl) Dietrich Buxtehude was one of the important organ composers of the 17th century and a major source of inspiration for J.S. Bach. Buxtehude's organ works are both fanciful and elaborate. This prelude in particular stands out for its colorful harmonies and its rather sudden ending.
