Bridge - this was lovely. Beautiful harmonies, alternately warmer and cooler. As ever, great to have some of the lyrics, and to know where to look for the rest. I don't often add choral stuff to my playlist but this feels so right for the time of year, so on it goes.
Lully - didn't like this. For me it has the air of "stuffiness" and formality that I once found off-putting about classical music before I started to find all the other amazing bits I do like. Admittedly the tenor and countertenor on the recording I listened to blended beautifully though.
Valente was jolly and easy to listen to but not my cup of tea particularly.
Rautavaara - Weird and wonderful, very evocative, distinctly Scandinavian - I think you can hear some echoes of the opening orchestral parts of the Sibelius Violin concerto in the delicate and minimal strings. My only criticism is that it feels like a very wintry piece (in fact I'm seeing it at the end of November as part of a winter themed programme), and we have a golden autumn day here. But that's not Clemency's fault!
