First-time release on CD, specially priced, featuring Germany's most honoured boys' choir led by Georg Ratzinger.

Regensburg's famous 'singing sparrows' boast a rich 1000-year tradition as 'one of the world's finest choirs' (Pope Paul VI). Led by their long-time director Georg Ratzinger, they are joined here by a superb ensemble under noted conductor Hanns-Martin Schneidt in this classic recording of the Bach's jubilant Christmas celebration.

Originally released on LP in 1979, this joyous performance of Bach's holiday favourite is a first-time release on CD.
