Kal,You are definitely correct as to the origin of the text. But what Haydn set to music was the German translation/version of that text by van Swieten. And that is what I meant.
I think we need to differentiate beween original and origin here.
Correct me if I am wrong.

Probably no, the booklet info says Michael Bishops Five/Four Productions,so it could be a rare DSD recording released under the Linn label.
