You won't regret it, Micky. It was one of those occasions when I thought I'll just put this on briefly to see how it sounds and end up listening through to the end.Originally posted by MickyD View PostComment

Here's one link to the Buxtehude from Afternoon on 3
It may be correct to describe Buxtehude as 'Danish', but I think it was more a case of Denmark being under the influence of geographical North Germany. Or was it the other way round? Any info welcome!Comment

... well, even wiki finds Diderik Hansen's background all a bit confusing -Originally posted by ardcarp View Post
"He is thought to have been born with the name Diderich Buxtehude. His parents were Johannes (Hans Jensen) Buxtehude and Helle Jespersdatter. His father originated from Oldesloe in the Duchy of Holstein, which at that time was a part of the Danish realms in Northern Germany. Scholars dispute both the year and country of Dieterich's birth, although most now accept that he was born in 1637 in Helsingborg, Skåne at the time part of Denmark (but now part of Sweden). His obituary stated that "he recognized Denmark as his native country, whence he came to our region; he lived about 70 years." Others, however, claim that he was born at Oldesloe. Later in his life he Germanized his name and began signing documents Dieterich Buxtehude"
