Voce Chamber Choir's new disc is a moving tribute to Sir John Tavener, featuring a selection of works by him (many of which are previously unrecorded) and by Roxanna Panufnik. At the heart of the disc is the premiere recording of Panufnik's 99 Words to my Darling Children, a moving setting of Tavener's last message to his family.
