Although known primarily for their symphonies, both wrote beautiful and characterful choral music; the selection includes Sibelius' haunting Rakastava (The Lover) and Nielsen's intense Tre Motetter. Alongside these works Londinium performs ravishing music by Peter Lange-Müller, Wilhelm Stenhammar and Toivo Kuula - composers hardly known to UK audiences - before concluding the programme with the classic Lorca Suite by Einojuhani Rautavaara.
