"One among many monophonic chant recordings made by Dr. Ruhland over a period of 5 decades. This particular recording was made in the Parish Church of St. Martin in Högling, Bavaria, in 1966, and was released on LP in 1967 under the title "Gregorianische Gesänge; Hymnen, Sequenzen, Responsorien um 400-1400". Capella Antiqua München's performance of chant was state-of-the-art in 1966 - and still is. After all, Gregorian chant isn't subject to radical fluctuations in interpretation. Experienced listeners of chant will note that the disc opens with a couple of familiar 'hits', the advent hymn Conditor alme Siderum and the Christmas sequence Nato canunt Omnia. It is in the performance of the sequences where this collection truly excels, with Peter Abelard's Mittit ad Virgenem being of especial interest here. The choir even breaks into polyphony briefly at the beginning of the 14th-century Bavarian Kyrie fons Bonitatis, so the program is not entirely dominated with a single musical texture." (D. Lewis, Allmusic)
