"Kozená sings superbly here, proving herself as flexible stylistically as vocally."
- Gramophone
"This album finds Kožená in church rather than the concert hall, bringing new colours to three centuries of song ..."
- Sinfini Music
"... it feels like light is suddenly pouring into the church windows ... an unusual but musically varied and very enjoyable album."
- ClassicalDaily.com
Czech mezzo-soprano Magdalena Kožená is joined by virtuoso organist Christian Schmitt on this 2014 release of deeply-felt interpretations of sacred songs for voice and organ. The album includes a selection of religious music from the Baroque to the 20th century by composers including J.S. Bach, Schubert, Dvořák, Bizet, Verdi and Ravel. Music is featured from the spiritual traditions of Germany, Austria, France, England and Kožená's native Czechoslovakia.
