Notes & Reviews:

In the rich musical life of early 18th century Prague, the Advent and Christmas seasons formed a chapter unto themselves. All the pieces on this new recording by the outstanding Collegium Marianum share the atmosphere of expectation of the Savior's arrival and the spirit of peace and joy. And joy is precisely what shines through the thoughtful musicological and dramaturgical program of this "authentic" recording into the heart of the listener, whether during the seasons of Advent and Christmas or at any other time.
