Buxtehude / Ai
Busoni's transcriptions of Bach have long been one of the mainstays of the piano repertoire. Bach himself worshipped the music of the Danish-born Dieterich Buxtehude (c. 1637-1707), famously walking 250 miles to Lübeck to hear him play. The Liszt student August Stradal (1860-1930) obviously shared that admiration, transcribing ten of Buxtehude's most imposing organ works for piano, thus creating alongside 'Bach-Busoni' a corpus of grandiose - and virtuoso - Baroque music for the modern concert grand that has somehow remained almost entirely unknown.
