Always such a treat when there is a recording of Allegri's Miserere in the archive! A blessed Ash Wednesday unto all.

And a blessed St. Fintan’s Day to you also.

Breathtaking. Thank you.

The organ voluntary has just become one of my favourite recording of Bach.

[@R_Jackson]

An especially clear recording of a beautiful Evensong service. Thank you!

No live broadcast on the Third Prorgramme today so I think i'll choose this over the 2019 one being broadcast this afternoon.

[@stace3037]

Parsely should definitely make a comeback.

It would be a sage move, and it's about thyme.

PS those Ebdon responses are marvellous!
