Producer Helen Garrison
It is good to know that the programme was produced by an named individual but I don’t remember seeing the producer’s name on this or any other music programmes. It this new or just one of those?

Really enjoying the show. Trying to hold back on buying the Vox Luminis Schutz recording....

Indeed, the best performance of the Schutz M. Exequien I've heard. The sound was very 'straight' making every line clear, and yet there was expressiveness and dynamic contrast. I didn't know this group before, but I'm impressed. Good to hear the actual music [as far as we know] performed at Queen Mary's funeral, i.e. mainly the Morley with one sentence by Purcell.

The programme was mainly music with just a few historical details provided tastefully, as always, by Lucie.

I agree, I have their recording of music for British Royals Funerals. I am still considering the other.
