About

In 1680 Buxtehude wrote a highly unusual cycle of cantatas based on a medieval Latin hymn, Salve mundi salutare, which has since become a classic of Baroque sacred music. This imaginative contemplation of the sufferings of Christ from feet, Ad pedes, to face, Ad faciem, by way of the knees, the hands, the side, the breast and the heart - has already been recorded by harmonia mundi, back in 1990 [hma1951333]. Now you can admire virtually the same performers in a film dating from 2004, at the Abbatiale de Payerne, Switzerland, again conducted by René Jacobs.

Jacobs has found the means of marrying intense religious fervour with highly personalised expression … The instrumental ensemble provides a commentary of indescribable poetry…The coupling is also exceptionally interesting, with the jubilation of Heut triumphieret Gottes Sohn forming a superb contrast with the meditations of Membra Jesu nostri and offering an apotheosis in its concluding Alleluia."
