Notes & Reviews:

For the past nine years, the Hanssler Classic/SWR co-production of the Musikalischer Advenskalender has been one of the most eagerly anticipated releases for the holiday season! Documenting the wealth and variety of choral and instrumental ensembles in Germany, this year brings the Best of the Muikalisher Adventskalender with the most perfect musical moments from the past nine years.

Gramophone Magazine, December 2012
The disc's cover looks like a reject from the design team at Clinton Cards...but hidden beneath it is a set of more-than-worthwhile performances (one for each day of Advent). Don't be put off.
