Dieterich Buxtehude, Toccata in d, Bernard Foccroulle plays
BackOne more Buxtehude: Toccata in d minor, BuxWV 155. One more great piece on a great organ from the DVD set I've tortured on YouTube quite a bit: http://tinyurl.com/socu2 (also check eBay). The organist is Bernard Foccroulle, he plays on an Arp Schnitger organ built in 1688 in Norden, Germany (organ restored in 1985 by Jürgen Ahrend). I found out few days ago that this organ was tuned to a meantone temperament, you'll notice how smooth some of the sustained chords are, none of that "sizzle" or "buzz" one always hears under the equal temperament. A demo of some of the stops of this organ is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8pCJ-QaUUbc
