Notes & Reviews:

On this CD all-time favorite Christmas and Advent carols and hymns such as "Macht hoch die Tur," "Es ist ein Ros entsprungen" (Lo, How a Rose E'er Blooming), and "Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht" (Silent Night, Holy Night) are heard in choral renderings and on the organ, which also presents improvisations on their magnificent melodies. Join us for an hour of Christmas music in St. James' Church in Rothenburg ob der Tauber – rung in and out with this church's famous seventeenth-century bells!
