Rutter, in an interview in the enclosed booklet, candidly describes his usual sound as "honeyed," but these are ... see all copies from £5.52! new only from £10.99!

His Sixth is lovely: affectionately ... see all copies from £15.58!

9	Fauré: Requiem; Cantique de Jean Recine; Ballade (2001) more music like this performed by Brian Rayner Cook (baritone), David Bell (organ), John Ogdon (piano), Norma Burrowes (soprano), City of Birmingham Symphony Chorus (choir, chorus), City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, Louis Frémaux (conductor) composed by Gabriel Fauré add to wishlist see all copies from £6.23! new only from £6.23!
