These works were included today:
Victoria: Missa pro Victoria
and
Janequin: La Guerre
Bavarian Radio Chorus
Howard Arman, director
I thought the Victoria Mass was dreadfully unrelieved and heavy. La Guerre would have benefited from smaller forces (a madrigalian OVPP seems best for this characterful piece).
The contemporary pieces which followed seemed better suited to the BRC.
