Description:

World-renowned organist Megumi Koito The profound and robust Buxtehude. This collection of works by Buxtehude and related composers by Swiss-based organist Megumi Koito uses five organs to organize the recordings, with the chorales, especially the Magnificat on CD3, as the warp. Her playing has a modern orientation at its core, with crisp articulation and a strong sense of beatitude, making it very individualistic, but at the same time profound, making it suitable for the characteristics of the North German organ school and giving it a palpably soothing feel.
