I have an older recording of some of Grieg's choral music rather than that particular recording on BIS. (I'm waiting for Robert, George, and their cohorts to make the BIS multi-channel incarnations available for download on eClassical - they've been working on it for years, but per a post on SA-CD.net from Robert, it requires a substantial investment, financial and perhaps otherwise.)

BTW, if folks have never heard Grieg's choral music, they can get a taste of it in that Whitsun Hymn ("Veslsignede morgen") near the end of Peer Gynt - assuming they have a recording of the complete incidental music and not just the suites. As you say, very beautiful - of all the composers I know of, Grieg was the best IMHO in conveying innocence in music, at least in some of his works.
