Glòria (2021)
Once again this year, the MDR Radio Choir is delighting us with a CD of Christmas carols: the elite vocal ensemble is continuing its successful series, showcasing carols from Germany and around the world. Popular and well-known titles as well as rarities are here to discover. We travel through Spain and Scandinavia, through Slavic countries, to the North American and Australian continents. "Glory to God in the highest", from tender lullabies to magnificent angelic praise and heartwarming winter magic: Gloria in excelsis deo!
Further Christmas-CDs with the MDR-Rundfunkchor:

Rondo
"The local choir of the MDR under the direction of Philipp Ahmann scores with the most beautiful choir sound for the Christmas room, so warm and cozy that hand-wringing conflicts do not even arise."
