The substantial repertoire of Buxtehude"s vocal art ranks among the most attractive in the later 17th century, and forms a climactic point in Lutheran church music between Heinrich Schütz and Johann Sebastian Bach. Ton Koopman has won the ECHO Klassik Award and Editor"s Choice in Gramophone for his previous Buxtehude recordings. In 2008, he won the BBC Music Award for part 22 of his superb Bach Cantata series.
