"... widely regarded as one of the greatest audiophile masterpieces ever recorded ... now made even better with this hi-definition release."
- EnjoytheMusic.com
"... another one of those much-heralded 'audiophile' recordings ... I've been listening to it pretty much nonstop for the last 48 hours or so and I have to tell you, I'm mighty impressed. I've heard so much more that I've never heard before, the air and space around the voices is amazing in its realization. This music is so spiritual and life affirming ... very, very highly recommended, regardless of how many times you may have bought this in the past!"
- Audiophile Audition
This collection of Christmas-related sacred music for chorus, brass and organ from Oscar's Motet Choir has long been considered an audiophile reference, famous for its incredible sound quality. Recorded simply in a Stockholm church in 1976 to a Revox reel-to-reel machine using two Pearl microphones, the album showcases the performances of soprano Marianne Mellnäs and organist Alf Linder and includes works by Enrico Bossi, Handel, Otto Olsson, Adolphe Adam along with psalms and Swedish folk songs.
