Agreed. "How Lovely is Thy Dwelling Place" (English trns.)

carnutman is right. This is NOT Mendelssohn's Nachtigall. Please change the label to be less misleading- I was looking for a recording to aid in competition, and got this, with a totally different piece, instead.

This isn't "Die Nachtigall." It's the fourth movement of "A German Requiem" by Brahms.
