    • In advance of Liszt's 200th birthday, Musical Concepts is proud to present a collection of sacred music by the composer, Via Crucis (The Way of the Cross) and Missa Choralis (the Choral Mass). The BBC Northern Singers are superb on this disc, giving the works the sensitive treatment they demand, and Francis Jackson masters the organ.
