What's playing today ?

1) Kyrie from Palestrina's Missa Benedicta es - Tallis Scholars

especially the middle part, the Christe eleison

2) Buxtehude praeludium in d BuxWV 140 - Bine Katrine Bryndorf

For me this is one of the best recordings of this piece because she plays the second fugue in a grand manner, and the large Schnitger organ she's playing on has immense gravity. Quite a few organists seem to play the second fugue in an overly fast manner with an excessive emphasis on rhythm. As a result the second fugue ends up sounding trivial.

3) youtube - Chris Bragg - Nicolaus Bruhns praeludium in e

4) youtube - Chris Bragg - Buxtehude praeludium in d BuxWV 140

5) youtube - Chris Bragg - BWV 538

I forgot to write that the chorus "Wir danken dir, Gott, wir danken dir" (We thank you, God, we thank you) is from Bach's cantata BWV 29.
