Cantate Domino, recorded by legendary sound engineer Bertil Alving in 1976, is widely regarded as one of the greatest audiophile masterpieces ever recorded. Opening with Enrico Bossi's "Cantate Domino" for choir, organ, trumpets and trombones, the choral album includes a number of Swedish folk songs as well as pieces by Handel, Otto Olsson, and others. The famous reference record is now made even better with this audiophile SACD release.

This collection of Christmas-related sacred music for chorus, brass and organ from Oscar's Motet Choir has long been considered an audiophile reference, famous for its incredible sound quality. Recorded simply in a Stockholm church in 1976 to a Revox reel-to-reel machine using two Pearl microphones, the album showcases the performances of soprano Marianne Mellnäs and organist Alf Linder and includes works by Enrico Bossi, Handel, Otto Olsson, Adolphe Adam along with psalms and Swedish folk songs.
