Britten Sinfonia - Elin Manahan Thomas (Sopran) - James Vivian (Orgel) // His Seven Last Words from the Cross, first commissioned and screened by the BBC in 1994, depicts the final seven short sentences Jesus uttered, from the mesmerizing opening cadences to the final disturbing hammer-blows of the nails being driven into Christ's hands and feet, leaving the listener to wonder at one of the choral masterpieces of our time.
