John Rutter at 80

Tom Service with guests, stories and the perfect classical soundtrack to start the weekend!

Tom Service plays classical music to start your weekend.

Choral composing legend John Rutter invites Tom to Cambridgeshire to talk turning 80, plans for the future, and Clare College Cambridge, a place that means so much to him, as he releases a new disc of his music sung by the choir there.

Mezzo-soprano Lea Desandre and lutenist Thomas Dunford perform their unique take on the baroque repertoire. Thomas Dunford has been called the 'Eric Clapton of the lute', whilst French-Italian mezzo-soprano Lea Desandre was just 20 when she was awarded a place in William Christie’s academy Le Jardin des Voix. They bring music from their new album to the Saturday Morning studio.

To listen on most smart speakers just say "Ask ѿý Sounds to play Saturday Morning”.
