Description

The Prayer of St Thomas More, spoken in English: guidance, the nerve to do what is right. Then Chopin’s Nocturne in G minor, Op. 37 No. 1, Andante sostenuto, Anton Kingsbury — the church-like middle that pianists still chase. The Big Nest again: petition, then piano, no choir. For indecision, for a conscience that needs words and then a quieter instrument. More’s request; Chopin’s nave. An English prayer recording that treats both halves as the point.
