About The Record:

This program is as touching and beautiful in its musical commentary on the celebration of the Nativity as it is illuminating in its picture of musical blossoming from the "Gothic" middle ages to the Renaissance. Collaborating in it are two groups renowned for their artistry and insight in performing old music; the Dellar Consort and the ensemble of ancient instruments, the Pro Musica Antiqua of Vienna
