Release Date:
Nov 2002
Gerald Finzi has come to embody the notion of a lyrical, impassioned pastoralism in the English 20th century musical renaissance. Here Lo, the Full, Final Sacrifice, a restrained yet powerful work, takes the listener through a feast of moods and beautiful textures; also included are the finely crafted Seven Unaccompanied partsongs and the Magnificat.
Notes:
Soloists: Oliver Lepage-Dean (Treble); Aaron Burchell (Alto); Edward Lyon (Tenor); Gareth Jones (Bass)
Reviews:
"distinguished...most especially in its capacity for real, convincing, communicative liveliness. The strong impression is that they mean what they sing ... winningly alert and sensitive" Gramophone 2002

My lovely one, Finzi

Thou didst delight my eyes, Finzi
