YouTube video by Steven Osborne - Topic Rutter: Celebration Overture

I'll admit to a twinge of quiet excitement: the Celebration Overture is out now, a prelude to my first complete orchestral album Reflections, due for release on the Decca Classics label in a few weeks time. JR

Bach can hardly have experienced much tranquillity in his home, filled with various of his twenty children, but he was able to capture it unforgettably in music. Here is JR's arrangement of 'Sheep may safely graze', on the day that marks 275 years since Bach's death. buff.ly/siQHlrh

The latest blog post, Recordings in My Life, sees John revisit a lifetime of sound — beginning with a recording made at the age of six, and moving through key moments, right up to hints of what's still to come. bit.ly/44IAhUx

Farrant's 'Hide not thou thy face' was among the most admired anthems of its time. His background in theatre is evident in the work's word-setting, which is direct and expressive in style. 2025 marks the 'possible' 500th anniversary of his birth.
