Editorial Reviews
Album Description
For more than 30 years, these ground-breaking recordings by the legendary Eric Ericson have been the standard for choral interpretation. While often out-of-print or only available as a costly import, these recordings by Maestro Ericson with the Rundfunkchor Stockholm and Stockholmer Kammerchor are a virtual omnibus of choral literature.

The Clarion label was founded by Stanley Schmidt- a distinguished music educator, choral director, radio personality and businessman, for the purpose of showcasing the great choral recordings from the past and provide contemporary choirs with a vehicle to promote their own recordings. Mr. Schmidt is also President of CollegiumUSA.com, one of the country’s largest and most celebrated distributors of recorded choral music.

It is with tremendous satisfaction that Clarion can once again make these priceless recordings available for the enjoyment of collectors and the inspiration of choral directors. Be sure to contact us to stay informed of future releases on the Clarion label.

5 out of 5 stars A true "must have".......2006-04-02

I first encountered Ericson's classic recordings in their original LP form--the revered blue box set--as an undergraduate conductor at Westminster Choir College. The flexibility of choral tone, range of colors and superb diction set an entirely new standard for me (as well as provided my first introductions to Britten's Hymn to St. Cecilia, Rossini's I Gondolieri and Toast pour le nouvel an, and Schoenberg's Friede Auf Erden). If you have any degree of love for the choral art, these are still the finest single value for your money I can possibly recommend. One might wish the notes in the program book, which are good ones, included translations of the non-English texts ... but you can't have everything, I suppose.

5 out of 5 stars a choral music lover's MUST HAVE .......2004-11-06

I was fortunate to work with Eric Ericson and the Radio Sweden Choirs when on a tour of Scandanavia in the 70's. This recording is absolutely prime. The range of music and styles is most impressive and the performances are wonderous. This set will guarantee you hours of some of the finest choral singing ever recorded. Kudos to Clarion for keeping it in the catalog. Highest possible recommendation.
