Hi,
I've gotten to know the engineer behind this recording really well. We talk often and, in fact, we're scheduled to shoot a video about it at the church it was recorded at next month.
It might come as a surprise, but despite what the liner notes say about a DAT machine, what was actually used was a Beta-based digital recorder (I can't recall if it was a Sony or Nakamichi at the moment). He had a DAT machine there and recording, but the Beta machine was significantly better sounding, he said, so that's what was used.
