From the Booklet:
...In 1705, Johann Sebastian Bach walked to Lübeck in order to learn from Buxtehude and to hear the magnificent organs of the city. Buxtehude must have given him a comprehensive introduction to the craft and art of organ playing of his time and must have demonstrated the brand new Schnitger organ in the Lübeck Dom. The program of this CD represents music of a kind that perhaps Bach experienced in Lübeck Dom. Let us imagine that Buxtehude together with Bach, close to Christmas of 1705, walked up the stairs to the west balcony in the Dom, played the full organ, and all kinds of variations using a favorite Christmas melody, played a prelude in the style of one of Buxtehude's foremost students, and ended their session with a grand Toccata...
