This is recording produced and issued by the Choir of St. Sebastian & La Banda.
Beautifully performed and quite well recorded (sometimes coughing knocks you out of your mood, but this is the disadvantage of live recordings).
This is very rare, hard to find recording.
La Banda with Michaela Prentl issued, in a similar manner, for example Handel's Dixit Dominus, Dettingen Te Deum or Bach's works as well, but they are completely unavailable.
So far I have only this one recording conducted by Michaela Prentl in my collection.
