I do like the Williens Haffner and the Posthorn should be winging its way to me!
OK, time for some more piano sonatas......

Courtesy of an excellent Spotify playlist I've been on a Buxtehude spree this morning - a happy diversion from the ghastly weather. Replete with gems. A couple of albums that grabbed me were:
Vocal Music Emma Kirkby and friends.
Dipped into Complete Organ Works from Marie-Ange Leurent and Eric Lebrun

Gurnemanz,
Coincidentally, I will be spinning the Buxtehude Advent organ works this weekend from the set by Ulrik Spang-Hanssen (on Membran).
This could even be on the Bargains thread!

I have a 5CD set on (French) harmonia mundi, played by René Saorgin on organs in Alkmaar, Zwolle, Altenbruch, and Arleshein.

Pulcinella,
I do not know these works well but I like the Praeludium in G minor (BuxWV 163) and the 2 settings of "Herr Christ, der einig Gottes Sohn" (BuxWV 191-2). Listening to Buxtehude at Advent has become a bit of a tradition for me in the last few years. Spang-Hansen plays Lund Organ in Praesto Kirke (forgive the lack of Danish accents!).
How is Saorgin in this music? (One of my favourite Bach discs is his Orgelbuchlein, also on Harmonia Mundi.)

I don't know the works at all, let alone well, and have no other performances, so nothing to compare with.
I have the equivalent harmonia mundi JSB Organ works set, with Lionel Rogg as organist, which I know is pretty highly regarded, but nothing else played by Saorgin.
Thanks again.

If you look at the Presto list of recordings, you'll see that there are some pieces with multiple descriptions (e.g., BuxWV 150, which is listed as in G major, G minor, no key, and as a Prelude and Fugue in G minor!).
Praeludium in G Major, BuxWV 150
Prelude & Fugue in G minor BuxWV150
Prelude BuxWV 150
Prelude in G minor BuxWV150

My Membran issue of this opus states "g", as in G minor. It certainly starts in the minor but moves to the major quite quickly thereafter...and it is definitely fugal as it progresses.
