The Stockholm Cathedral Choir – Now The Green Blade Riseth (Kornet Har Sin Vila)

A new approach to singing hymns and religious songs: simple, straightforward settings with organ and guitar bring clarity to the melodies while flutes resound above them in the vaults of the church.
The Stockholm Cathedral Choir and a children's choir sing hymns — old and modern — in a new way, arranged by Bengt Berg for organ, guitar, flute and bass. Simple, straightforward organ and guitar accompaniments carry the melody with clarity, while flutes sound playful under the church's vaulted ceiling. This album was recorded in 1981 and is popular among audiophiles for its sheer sound quality.

Fabio Camorani's AudioNautes Recordings accepted the challenge of retrieving the sound and special feeling of the original edition, comparing dozens of acetates and test pressings, until success was achieved. Ultra-Master Tape Edition, Duplication AAA from the analogue original master tapes. Numbered limited edition on high fidelity audio tape.
Be ready to be blown away when you experience playback of true high-fidelity recording on audiotape – your new album on reel-to-reel audiotape. The ultimate reel-to-reel tape is the latest retro-trend for audiophiles, it has a greater dynamic range than vinyl, is capable of producing extraordinary sound for the treble and bass and there is less signal processing which is the enemy of a hi-fi extraordinaire. Listening to music on reel-to-reel tape will allow you to discover details in the music you were never able to hear before. Nothing sounds better than music on audio reel-to-reel tape.
