He did! The Gloucester Service at evensong in Gloucester Cathedral is a wonderful thing and something I haven't done in a few years now - I believe I missed it a few weeks ago.Quote:

Just stunning.
You have inspired me.
Currently enjoying this compilation. Byrd's Ave Verum Corpus starts it off ...

A weird and fascinating contemporary oboe concerto
The other piece on the album is good, too.

More Purcell songs ripped from a CD I've had for years.
Barbara Bonney singing "Oh, fair Cedaria, hide those eyes" will stop you in your tracks!
two gorgeous cello concertos
