Yes, I have! They've got some great stuff there. I just recently got his Missa Sabrinensis/Stabat Mater CD. It is REALLY good. You can hear a certain reminiscence of his Hymnus Paradisi in it.
I am very surprised that the last entry about Howells took place over 12 years ago. He is probably the most underrated British composer. He was also probably the last conservative composer representing late Romanticism (or Post-romanticism).
Personally, I really like his works and next to Delius he is my favorite British composer.
His Hymnus Paradisi always floors me, especially considering it was written for his son who had died.
