What Sweeter Music

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

It has been said that John Rutter 's music is as synonymous with the Christmas season as Dickens. Andrew Green looks at Rutter's career as a whole - from his school days in the heady musical atmosphere of Highgate School and the breakthrough heralded by Shepherd's Pipe Carol , to his huge popularity in the USA and the success of his Requiem, which came into its own in the States after the events of 11 September 2001. Producers Anthony Burton and Andrew Green
