I have mentioned this before. I just finished a hearing of the Estonian Chamber Orchestra Choir's A New Joy - Orthodox Christmas, a collection of Orthodox Russian church music that had been suppressed by the Communist government in the past. This CD is just about "perfect" on all counts: wonderful source material, spellbinding performance and exquisite recording. We found it about four years ago; I think it might have been cited by David Stabler of The Oregonian. Still is the go-to Christmas music I recommend to anyone who asks. You can get a lo-fi preview here.
