Annotation

Track 1 conductor is credited as Harry Christophers - but it seems likely this is an error and the conductor was Martin Flämig, possibly the recording was originally released on https://www.discogs.com/master/2757782-Monteverdi-Dresdner-Kreuzchor-Capella-Fidicinia-Martin-Fl%C3%A4mig-Marienvesper
