The recording is not always as clear as it could be with the textures and especially the words. A strength of the issue, which distinguishes it from almost all others available, is the booklet, which not only includes the full text in transliteration (with English, German and French translations), but includes excellent essays. The English one, by Fr Philip Speer, helpfully explains how the musical numbers fit into and serve the liturgy; in German (with French translation) Kadja Gronke gives a good historical background; and Carlo Vitali's Italian essay makes some interesting comparisons with Roman Catholic traditions.'
