Friday's Live in Concert was an interesting programme of Schutz, Praetorius and Rosemuller. Worth a listen:

Thank you for the reminder. I’ve just listened to the programme and enjoyed it, especially Rosenmüller’s sonatas. In the choir works, I found the soprano solo somewhat too distinct but it wasn’t a problem enough to spoil the concert.
But I do not like this at all.
…Schütz, two of 17th-century Germany's most significant musical personalities. In this concert music resounds from all corners of Christ Church Spitalfields in expressive, overlapping multi-choir harmonies.
Musical personalities? What’s wrong with 'composers'?, And ‘music resounds from all corners … expressive, overlapping multi-choir harmonies’? This is a written version of gushing. -
Luckily, I didn't read that! As far as the choir of the OAE is concerned, it is I gather something of an ad hoc group comprising many of the usual voices in the London circuit...all very experienced and expert of course.Comment
