The Te Deum is one of my favourite choral works. After waiting
unsuccessfully for DG to re-release their version from the late 60s, I
succumbed to the Koch version in question when I found it in a storea few
months ago. The fillers are so-so, but I was more than happy with the
version of the Te Deum. I think you will be too, Don.
