For Sir James MacMillan, “beauty is at the heart of our Christian faith”, and few living composers communicate with such emotional directness – taking ancient texts and charging them with a wholly original intensity, wonder and imaginative fire. Composed in 1994 and recorded by Britten Sinfonia subsequently on Hyperion, his Seven Last Words have already become a classic. Britten Sinfonia performs with the choir of Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford.
