In Reply to: Rutter's arrangement of the Cantique is pleasing as well posted by jdaniel@jps.net on November 2, 2016 at 07:38:46:
Rutter is billed as the 1893 version, and The Sixteen sounds equally smaller scale, likewise the Tenebrae.There is a very audible harp on the Sixteen as well as Rutter. It's not so audible on Tenebrae. The harp doesn't seem to appear in the first 2 versions, but it's in the final orchestral version. Maybe the Sixteen and Tenebrae just use a scaled down version of that score, or maybe they juggle some of the orchestrations.
I really think these chamber versions sound way better than the full orchestral versions.
