Ralph Vaughan Williams: O, Clap your hands!
Percy Whitlock: Plymouth Suite
John Rutter: Gloria
Joseph Jongen: Mass Op. 130Onyx Brass
Organ: James Orford, Nico de Villiers
Conductor: Dan Ludford-Thomas
O, Clap your hands is actually written by the same person who composed The Lark Ascending. Rutter’s Gloria has brass accompaniment and percussion. The Jongen Mass is, apparently, rarely performed and less often recorded.
James Orford and Nico de Villiers were the highlights. Nico is always brilliant, and James is far too young to be as good as he is.
