More Lucy Walker I see. I didn't hear last week's Compline; although I had intended to I dozed off unfortunately, due to a sleepless night, so don't know what her music is like.

...very approachable (I'm not 'damning with faint praise'), and and no less effective for it.

It was effective, and I liked the way all the music fitted together to give a unified whole, as I wasn't sure what to expect; although I like what I have heard of Anna Thorvaldsdottir, the others were an unknown quantity. In the event, I found it a lovely contemplative way to round off a Sunday evening and prepare for the night's rest - as it should be arguably?

Agree with everything!
The whole had a lovely intimate atmosphere with an excellent cantor. Good to hear Compline returns next year.
