"After a prelude in the style of Bach, Saint-Saens created a contemplative, charming and very French setting of Catholic Latin texts interpreting the Christmas mystery from a prophetic and theological point of view. Mendelssohn, the great restorer of Bach, set his choral cantata on Luther's famous hymn squarely in the extroverted Protestant manner. Both styles are admirably done by Krenzchor of Dresden under the direction of Martin Flamig." Now get your decoder ring to unscramble this description. ---Editorial Reviews, amazon.com
