Magdalena Kožená - Ryba: 3 Pastorellas, Czech Christmas Mass (2009)

As a preface to the Czech Christmas Mass, Magdalena Kožená sings three free-standing pastorellas, by Jakub Jan Ryba, each blessed with the same wide-eyed wonder that suffuses the longer work. Recorded 1998, this is the first time it has been released in the UK.
‘One of the things I enjoy about working with period instrument groups like Capella Regia Musicalis is rediscovering that same joy in simply making music.’ Kozena.
