James MacMillan is one of the very best exponents of mainstream modern classical music currently composing — maybe because his militant Catholicism and militant Socialism animate his music with a passionate force often absent from the mainstream. MacMillan's take on the ancient Marian text Stabat Mater should be memorable indeed.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: Boulud Sud for very nice pan-Mediterranean.
