OMG... Rutter-Ception... I loved when Rutter joined the Lapwood-Rutter interview xD But in all seriousness. One simply has to love both your open and joyful attitudes to share your passion to the public. Thank you for letting us in - Halleluja, Amen
A fascinating and highly entertaining interview - thank you! And thank you for answering my question about Gb major. But what was the Berlioz duet John mentioned? I couldn't quite catch it. The Dvorak was Song to the Moon - I didn't know it at all but surely something that would grow on me on a 2nd or 3rd listening.
Would you believe there's a Wikipedia page for Gb major! (And all the other keys as far as I can make out.) But it didn't mention John's compositions. So I've put that right, and added his comments on the key.
"Nuit d'ivresse" from Les Troyens. It's a duet for Dido and Aeneas. In the original/full version of the opera, it closes Act 4 (but the work has a complicated performance and publication history, which is why John placed it in Act 2).
I love John Rutter citing St. Cecilia as the muse behind his compositional ideas. This was such a delightful and informative conversation. Thank you!
Thank you, both!
Thrilled to hear John Rutter refer to "Carols for Choirs" one as the green book, as we all do.

That was as heartwarming as a video can get! And absolutely fascinating too. Merry Christmas!
Count among your many skills - interviewer extraordinaire. You just let him go. Nice.
I really enjoyed the talk, it was really interesting. I am going to John's concert on Friday too!
Thks for the interesting talk. Glad to see John Rutter still going strong. If I may ask, how old are you now?

I'm sorry... Am I the only person to spot correspondences between "Personent Hodie" and "You've Got to Pick a Pocket or Two"?
