Organist in Lubeck
Donald Macleod focuses on Buxtehude's work as organist and werkmeister at St Mary's Church in Lubeck.
Donald Macleod explores the life and music of Dieterich Buxtehude. Buxtehude was around thirty years old when he took up the position he would occupy for the rest of his life - organist and Werkmeister at St Mary's church in L眉beck, on the Baltic coast of northern Germany. In today's programme Donald Macleod describes one of the more unusual preconditions of the job: marriage to his predecessor's daughter.
