A historical gem

After reading the extremely negative review posted below, I went back and pulled out my copy to relisten. Such a negative review would be extraordinarily unusual given that both the conductor (Konrad Ruhland) and the choir (Capella Antiqua München) are renowned for their interpretations and recordings of this period music. Do the research – they are extremely professional and pioneers with early music recordings.

Of course, the proof is in the listening: I tried to hear the weak singing and mediocore performances – but I did not. It was as I had remembered – at the very least a solid performance – I would even call it an extraordinarily enlightened one.

Perhaps Mr. Stoltenberg’s review below was written when the listener’s stereo was not working properly; everyone is entitled to their opinion.
