Would that be James O'Donnell, then, who was at Westminster Cathedral Choir, where they recorded Masses by Frank Martin?

I have the Britten Ceremony of Carols with the Westminster Cathedral Choir under David Hill - a marvellous recording. (I taught David's daughter when he was DoM at Winchester, btw).

Palestrina Third Book of Lamentations (lots of Palestrina recorded)
Vaughan Williams Mass in G Minor
MacMillan   Mass 
Durufle Requiem

Yes, I live and work in Winchester, and used to walk past the cathedral every day in my first job.



The current puzzle is a bit of a tricky one, but the works you're seeking are (in three cases) popular/ well-known.
