The Hymns of Martin Luther

I’ve mentioned this item here before, but I am listening now to the complete collection of Luther hymns that Concordia Publishing House produced several years ago. And, again, I am both delighted and impressed with the recording. The significant added value of this collection is the little book that comes with the four CDs, which includes the words of each hymn and an explanation of each hymn. It is an education in itself. If you have not purchased this collection, I strongly encourage you to do so. It is a great treasure. You can read more about it on the CPH web site, listen to a sample of each hymn, download and read the entire book that comes with the collection, etc. This is the only complete recording of Luther’s hymns in English, and the most comprehensive complete recording of his hymns available in any language. If there is another collection as comprehensive as this one available for sale, on CD, I would appreciate knowing about it.


It’s tops on the list of gifts one Lutheran should consider giving to another Lutheran. Including to one’s pastor.
