There are at least 14 recordings of this piece on Contrebombarde and many recordings on CD. So I have no ambition to compete with any of these recordings.
But I'd like to show you how well Northern-German baroque music and in particular this Buxtehude piece sounds on this Thuringian baroque organ.
A curious thing; the opening always reminds me of the exact some opening of the bass aria 'Wer bist du?' of Cantata BWV 132. Is this coincidence or not?

In this aria there is a musical game of questions and answers, due to the text. I like to think the same of the opening of BuxWV 137. A question in the opening, then some wandering to search for an answer. Then there is a quick answer in the first chord, and so on. Probably too much thinking involved, but I like the rhetorical suggestions in this piece.
