* According to Anton Schönauer from Wiener Singakademie (November 2002) the CD Cover contains a mistake, because it was NOT the Wiener Singakademie performing! The Chorus Master of this recording, Xaver Meyer, was then Assistent-Director of the Wiener Singakademie, but it was an especially composed choir doing this recording. Recorded at Sofiensall, Vienna, Austria.
