Gratuitous Musickal Posting (TM)
Not me. This time our old TexasBestGroking pal JohnL out-nerds me with his "Switched on Buxtehude" offering, complete with audio download.
I'm a little nervous about John's synthesizer confessions, given that whole Wendy Carlos episode. If we have to start calling him "Johanna," he's banned from the blogroll.
As a high school friend and mental health professional, I can verify that John is indeed a heterosexual male. In the rather unlikely event that he is also transgendered, it is so far repressed that Lucifer is going to get a career as a ski instructor before you start calling him "Johanna."

Posted by: JohnL at November 17, 2004 11:25 AMListening now....I'm beginning to think more Thomas Dolby than Wendy Carlos. Seriously, tho, I don't think you over-ornament at all. And the tempi are much more to my taste than the painfully slow slogging a lot of old-school organists.
I don't know the piece. I've actually got a book of Buxtehude keyboard works, but rarely play from it. I find they don't translate very satisfactorily to the piano.
