Recorded by Wayne Marshall, a close friend of John, in isolation in Malta. “Every so often someone or other asks me the same question: ‘John, could you do solo piano versions of some of your choral pieces, so I can play them at home?’ Well, I’ve finally done it . I hope you have as much pleasure listening to them as I had writing them.” John Rutter
