‘The revelation for me was Stanford’s powerful response to the unfolding carnage of the Great War, his 1915 anthem For lo, I raise up. Beneath the superficial swagger lies one of his most inspired works. The choral singing here is breathtakingly good … the expert craftsmanship of these three composers has been truly well served by James O’Donnell and his wonderful musicians’ (Gramophone)
