<< -- 3 -- Adrian Williams MEMORABLE & TREASURABLE
In fact I have to say by the end of hymns 13 and 14 (two versions of
the same hymn Faithful Cross! Above all other) in total more than
20 minutes, glorious though they are in the Pange Lingua plainchant
and the alternative tune Picardy, I was longing for just one more
old favourite instead of occasional plainchant and responses.
Maybe just one of those, number 11, the 'simpler setting of the
reproaches' [listen -- track 11, 0:00-1:00]
ought to have been allocated to 'the other church'
in Langham Place...! I jest of course and having said all that I love
this recording and congratulate Harry Bramma and his perfect and sympathetic
organist Andrew Arthur, (director of music and assistant organist at All
Saints respectively, incidentally) and the choir on a memorable and treasurable
disc.
