Oestreich shared that he’d been listening to our Maximilian Steinberg: Passion Week recording in the ArtsBeat “Classical Playlist”: “‘Passion Week’…is on a scale with the great sacred works of Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninoff, though in a slightly more advanced idiom, and is quite simply beautiful.” —James R.

Choir & Organ Magazine Reviews Good Friday in Jerusalem
Choir & Organ Magazine gives five stars to our Good Friday In Jerusalem recording in their May/June Issue: “This ‘premiere in modern times’, revivified through extensive research, is true tingle-factor stuff: an austere, inexorable, mesmerising Crucifixion liturgy told in the 8th-and-9th-century Byzantine chant that once resounded within Jerusalem’s Church of the Holy Sepulchre, leading the…
