    Thirteen composers. I wonder what the record is for a broadcast evensong?

        Some stunningly beautiful sounds, especially music involving the gorgeous cello. The Magnificat had a lovely sense of calm, an effective new take on the text. The cello in the Stanford a bonus. The anthem - another effective new work. The responses, canticles and anthem the highlights of an enjoyable service beautifully caught by the engineering.
