When it was first released five years ago, this spectacular set, which offers a quintessential selection of western sacred music, became an instant collector's item. Available again as a limited edition, this deluxe collection features critically acclaimed recordings of more than seventy cornerstone works, ranging from the earliest Christian chants to gospel songs. The performers include some of today's finest artists, including Rene Jacobs, Philippe Herreweghe, Paul Hillier and William Christie. The set's luxury clamshell style box contains 29 discs of music and one PDF disc with sung texts.
