Stereophile Magazine Record to Die For!
THE classic recording of works for chorus, brass and organ.
World-wide renowned reference 1976 Bertil Alvin-recording of Christmas music from different countries.
This is a nice album for Christmas (though perhaps not all are the Christian’s song). Recorded by Bertil Aving in 1976 and very famous for its incredible sound quality.
According to Proprius, the equipments used was the Revox A77 and two Pearl TC4 microphone.
The album starts with Enrico Bossi’s “Cantate Domino”. Hear the organ vibration at the beginning. Play it at moderate volume at silent and dark room. Feel the “presence” of this song. Simply amazing. The next track will be a classic from Johann Gottfried Walther.
The next tracks most likely dominated with vocal and church’s choirs. It will calm down your soul and raise your spiritual emotion.
This remarkable album, for many years appreciated for its exquisite sound quality in the recording of choral and solo voices- set a new standard in sound engineering.
