Some of my all time favourites. My mum (Avril Harding, who was a choral conductor) said these pieces were like shining jewels. They’re sung beautifully here. Thank you

Thank you 😊

Das ist höchst anspruchsvolle, Atmosphäre generierende liturgische "Gebrauchs"-Musik, ebenso anspruchsvoll überzeugend und ergreifend dargeboten. Eine kleine Titelliste mit knappen Erläuterungen wäre für Unkundige hilfreich. Siehe unten von "Marshall Artz" - danke! Wie bei Bruckner eröffnet sich für Aufmerksame die ganz persönliche theologische Ausdeutung der in lebendigen Gesang umgesetzten Texte, die selbst erfahrenen Chorsänger/innen immer wieder neu vermittelt werden muß.
