Although Cesar Franck won many prizes during his student days his music was generally unrecognised by his contemporaries. His pieces were written in the romantic style whilst retaining a classical structure and his later compositions were referred to as 'cathedrals of sound'. Panis Angelicus is poetic and almost serene and this arrangement by Philip Sparke retains all of the beauty of the original.

Obwohl César Franck schon während seiner Studienzeit einen Preis nach dem anderen gewann, bekam er doch erst zu späteren Lebzeiten die Anerkennung, die er eigentlich verdiente. Von seinen Zeitgenossen kaum wahrgenommen, genießt César Franck und seine religiös gefärbte, poetische, fast düstere Musik heute große Bewunderung. Panis Angelicus, das Philip Sparke arrangierte, ist zweifellos die beliebteste Komposition von Franck.
