Jonathan Harvey – I Love the Lord (1995)

My last upload of Jonathan Harvey for the time being. Choral music, very pleasant to listen to. Obviously, Harvey didn’t forget these are hymns supposed to be enjoyed by a church-going public, and you can’t force them to do the intellectual exercise required for an advanced listening experience when all they want to do is sending their prayers to the Lord. Yet, Harvey is thoroughly modern, so don’t expect the music to be too conventional.
