Enthusiastic about classical music, especially baroque & choral; & fine architecture. Used to work for the Church of England. Views my own.
Interesting review of a CD made of Tudor era music from @lampallib.bsky.social (following last year’s special exhibition)

Interesting to see what seems to be possible just across the Channel, while churches here struggle to pay VAT on essential repairs …. www.saint-denis-basilique.fr/en/notre-act...

Worth looking out for what is on offer at @guildfordcathedral.bsky.social around Holy Week…including a very special concert featuring the Cathedral Choir & addresses by Fr George Guiver.

A great programme from The Sixteen at the Cadogan Hall last night performing Purcell & Handel with a baroque orchestra- Handel’s ‘Dixit Dominus’ a tour de force, but particularly enjoyed Purcell’s ‘My heart is inditing’ & ‘O sing unto the Lord’: a bit long for services & not often sung in concerts…
