"Hans-Christoph Rademann and the Berlin-based RIAS Kammerchor present a quietly joyful program of sacred Christmas works in a mix of styles, from Renaissance to modern ... The only selection that is not fully convincing is the austere Magnificat of Arvo Pärt, which seems chillier than the other pieces because of its plangent dissonances and stark harmonies, and it doesn't fit well with the group's characteristic sound".
"Harmonia Mundi nous invite à celebrer Noël en l'excellente compagnie du RIAS Kammerchor. Le programme brasse large".

"Vurdering: BBC music Christmas choice" - "The singing, all unaccompanied, has a natural, unforced eloquence, and is of a standard which makes criticism an impertinence. An outstandingly accomplished issue".

"The music is extraordinarily wide-ranging and has been exceptionally well chosen and sequenced ... The result is an unmitigated joy - the performances are immaculate and most expressive ... This is a truly outstanding disc".
