The Sixteen releases World Premiere Recording of Genesis Padre Pio Commissions
Monday, 20 April 2009
Harry Christophers and The Sixteen have recorded three new choral works by three contemporary British composers: James MacMillan, Roxanna Panufnik and Will Todd. Each work is a setting of the famous prayer after communion Stay With Me, Lord, by the Capuchin priest Padre Pio.
