Title: This title is sick!
Review: This is probably the most incredible classical CD known to man - it posseses the Lobsgesang (Song of Praise) by Mendelssohn on it, it's sung by Barbara Bonney and Edith Wiens at the Leipzig Gewandhaus - Europe's most unknown, but ultimately finest house of classical music. I honestly felt that I had died and that angels were singing in the middle of my living room when I first heard that hauntingly beautiful duet with full chorus. The CD has other wonders like the Bach aria "Wie freudig ist mein Herz," Mozart's Exsultate, a few rarer Mozart sacred arias, and her Pie Jesu (Faure). What's absolutely incredible to think is that these pieces were mostly recorded in Germany in small churches and performance hall - no one who likes Germany and classical music could be disappointed. It's also a great buy for lovers of die deutsche Romantik. I can't believe it's for sale, because it's discontinued with many record stores, and it could easily go for 3 times the price - it's a rare import.
