I'm not sure this is really a Christmas recording. There was a post a few days back of a Vincent Lubeck cantata.
Since I had other versions I was asked to post them. I already posted the Knabenchor Hannover one and here's the Hamburg St. Petri's version.
I understand there is no longer a boys choir at St. Petri and strangely I could not find any mention of it in BCSD.
However the conductor on this recording appears to have been well known (check Google).
I have two LPs. The first one was purchased in 1962, most probably in the US, maybe at the Record Hunter (?) near 5th Avenue and 42nd St, a very nice shop where I found quite a few rare things.
It is on the Haydn Society Records label ("Music for the mature listener"!) and I can't find any date of recording.
Many years later I got hold of a stereo version on the Musical Heritage Society label which has a few additional details.
There is a mention of an original recording by Erato and a Library of Congress Catalog Card apparently of 1972, which would be 10 years after my original find...
But I can add a few additional details, courtesy of a review of the recording in a French musical magazine.
The original recording was made by Erato (LDE 3157); the boy soloists are Reinhold Mestwerdt and Wolfgang Tramnitz (the latter being the son of the conductor according to google).
The soprano soloist in the Cantata on track 05 is Marion Holtz.
Now a practical note.
The rip is one I just made from the stereo LP.
Of the nine tracks, only four are with trebles.
I'm almost sure I have already posted these four tracks in the past.
