Pressestimmen
"(The contents of) the splendid CD recording ... are listed at the front of the book. And what a book it is. Finally, three centuries after his death, Buxtehude has gotten his long-delayed due between two covers, updated and written in an accessible and coherent manner, ready to be referred to and bookmarked by all who love, perform, or just enjoy listening to this master's splendid music... Even if you own the earlier long out-of-print version, put this one beside it for its many updates. And if you've tired of borrowing that earlier one from a library, here's the chance to put this valuable resource on your own bookshelves for handy reference."--THE AMERICAN ORGANIST (Barbara Owen) (Snyder) writes engagingly throughout and provides a rich array of musical examples and descriptions. --Julie Anne Sadie, EARLY MUSIC A model of modern music biography. --George Stauffer, JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN MUSICOLOGICAL SOCIETY Worthy of its subject, perhaps, as few other books can really claim to be. --Stephen Daw, MUSICAL TIMES Snyder's prose is commendably clear, making the book accessible to the lay reader and also illuminating for the specialist... The organ tracks (on the CD) have been newly recorded by Hans Davidsson... Elegantly typeset... A welcome reissue of an authoritative and highly readable text on one of the main figures of the German Baroque. --Stephen Rose, EARLY MUSIC (Includes a CD) of Buxtehude's music in first-class performances... A vast amount of solid and absolutely sound scholarship and documentation (150 pages of appendices)... The book itself is very readable. --EARLY MUSIC REVIEW One of the best volumes about the life and times of a musician ever to appear in English. Its survey of Buxtehude's world is a must for anyone studying the baroque... Summing Up: Essential. All readers; all levels. --CHOICE, Jane Ambrose A wonderful book... This is the bible about Buxtehude. If you want to know anything about Buxtehude, this is the book to get. ...An absolute must. --BBC CD REVIEW, Nick Morgan
Kurzbeschreibung
This book is a new edition of the most comprehensive life-and-works study of the great Baroque-era organist and composer Dieterich Buxtehude (ca. 1637-1707), released to celebrate the tercentenary of the composer's death. Originally published in 1987 and long out of print, "Dieterich Buxtehude: Organist in Lubeck" is considered by most musicologists to be the definitive biography. It also includes close description of Buxtehude's compositional output, from trio sonatas to the famed Abendmusiken: Buxtehude's yearly oratorio presentations. The young J. S. Bach traveled to Lubeck on foot in 1705 to learn as much as he could from the great master of the organ and of Lutheran church music. The revised edition contains new information on the organs that Buxtehude played in Scandinavia and Lubeck, excerpts from the newly available account books from St. Mary's in Lubeck, a discussion of newly discovered sources, including one written by J. S. Bach, an evaluation of recent scholarship on Buxtehude, and an extensive bibliography. Written for both the casual reader and the serious scholar. The accompanying CD provides examples of all genres discussed in the book - vocal works, a trio sonata, harpsichord music, and organ music newly recorded on the North German meantone organ in Gothenburg, Sweden, by a noted specialist in this repertoire, Hans Davidsson, who is professor of organ at the University of Rochester's Eastman School of Music and the founder of the Goteborg Organ Art Center (GOArt). Kerala J. Snyder is professor emerita of musicology, Eastman School of Music (University of Rochester).

Reissued At Last! Snap It Up!!!!!
7. Juli 2007
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Buxtehude's music remains one of the great pleasures of classical music - thoughtful and rich in melody, filled to overflowing with new ideas and freshness. For several years Kerala Snyder's book has been out of print, and unscrupulous book dealers have demanded exhorbitant prices for used copies. Now reissued it is possible to once again obtain a personal copy.
Although the price is high do not let that hold you back - this is an excellent achievement, and will probably remain the only major book in English on one of the greatest German composers. Highest recommendation.

The Last Word about Buxtehude
13. September 2007
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Bach's 250-mile journey on foot in 1705 from Arnstadt to Lubeck to visit Buxehude is one of the great tales in the history of music. If you've listened to some of Buxtehude's music (see my "Listmania!" list of Buxtehude's vocal music) and would like to learn more about the composer, his life, and his works, this is the one and only place to go. This second edition (published 20 years after the first) commemorates the 300th anniversary of the composer's death. It's reasonably accessible and readable for someone (like myself) who loves music but is not a professional musician. Among other things, it contains a very useful list of all of Buxtehude's compositions.

A serious biography of Dieterich Buxtehude
2. Januar 2010
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Dieterich Buxtehude: Organist in Lubeck is a serious biography, researched in depth, yet interesting. Little is left to the imagination. Any part of his life that can be supported by scholarly research is present. Readable? yes, as well as provocative. We see a 17th century organist emerge from under his father's tutelage, as well as many other prominent organists, move to Lubeck probably because of the plague in his home town. and become his own accomplished person. His creativity is revealed from the very beginning with innovative fingering as well as many compositions showing great promise. Not everything went his way. We read of his struggles which reveal uncertainty of his future. Yet Buxtehude became well-known sufficiently that the famous J.S. Bach hiked a great distance to meet Buxtehude, to learn from him. Finanally, there's a CD found at the end of the book which demonstrates the many musical genres employed by Buxtehude. The book is also comprehensively documented, though such references are kept in low profile appendices at the end of the book.
