Despite some claims on various websites (which list it as Te Deum Op.66), this is not the Te Deum recorded by Richard Hickox at the close of the CD Chandos 9548. (The notes to that recording itself list it, properly, as the Te Deum Laudamus movement from Stanford's Service Op.10, but others seem not to have gotten the memo. The 6 minute (Hickox on Chandos) vs. 56 minute (average duration of this work) duration differential is an interesting difference.) This work seems to have been broadcast on BBC radio but not(?) as yet (2014) commercially recorded. - ES
