At some point in the near-distant future I’ll begin uploading spoken-word recordings of Gerhardt’s hymns (as a solo-singer, I consider myself more in the “goose-farts on a muggy morning” camp that Leo Kottke so eloquently described–I like to hide in the four-part harmonies 😉 ), but until then, here’s a gorgeous recording from the Choir, Orchestra, and Organ of St. Michaeliskirche in Hamburg of Paul Gerhardt’s hymns in their full choral glory:

Happy listening!
