A trio of English composers perhaps better known for their creative output in other fields, yet who played a crucial role in the development of the Anglican choral tradition in the twentieth century. James O'Donnell and Westminster Abbey Choir present a programme centred on Finzi's Lo, the full, final sacrifice: the other works may be less familiar but are no less moving.
