Sony Classical 19658831402I have followed the young British musician Anna Lapwood (b. 1995) on Twitter (now known as “X” since its takeover by a notorious right-wing ultrabillionaire) for quite some time.

Harmonies of Heaven and Earth: music by Weelkes, Byrd and their contemporaries alongside three contemporary female composers
[…] Spain brought the Capilla Flamenca, in which de Monte sang, to England for his marriage to Queen Mary I. Capilla Flamenca and the Chapel Royal sang together at the wedding, and it is assumed Byrd and de Monte met then. That they stayed in contact is indicated by their setting of a pair of interlinking motets, taking text from the same psalm.The contemporary element of Luminatus' concert features music by three female composers, Melissa Dunphy, Ghislaine Reece-Trapp, and Eleanor Daley.The debut CD from Luminatus, entitled O Beata Virgo Maria, and featuring music by Renaissance and contemporary composers, is scheduled for release on Convivium Records in the Spring of 2024.Full details from Luminatus' website.

This early collaboration was the start of a working relationship between 'Ben' and 'Reggie' which was to bear important fruits.Goodall’s pioneering work was not confined to choral music. He also worked with the amateur Bishopsgate orchestra where just one of his concerts included the first British performances of two works by German composers, a neo-classical divertimento by Max Trapp who was featured in my article Furtwängler and the forgotten new music, and Die Jahreszeiten from another composer featured here, Ernst Krenek. And that path takes us to Goodall the fool.During the 1930s Goodall made several visits to Germany, the last in 1935 when the Nazis were in full control. On his return he extolled the virtues of Germany under the Nazis, and was vocal both in his concerns over the influx of refugee […]
