John Stainer - The Crucifixion

 

Naxos 8.557624 compact disc (£6.00)

 

Modelled on the great passion settings of J.S. Bach, Stainer’s Crucifixion is amongst the most popular of all English choral works and vividly portrays the events of the Passion of Christ. Scored for tenor and bass soloists, organ and mixed choir, the piece combines recitatives, solos, and masterful choruses that range from the graphic mob shouts of 'Crucify Him' to the ethereally beautiful meditation at the work's centrepiece 'God so loved the world'.
