Reviews

'This is a fine and enjoyable disc, full of vivid performances and imaginative programming. Under Mark Williams' direction, the choirs make a clear elegant and focused sound, and clarity is very much the watchword in the performances' (Planet Hugill)» More
My lovely one was composed for the marriage of Finzi’s sister-in-law and took its text from the same source as God is gone up. Again, the especially rapt moments are the unaccompanied ones. Within a very brief span Finzi moves from a subdued minor-key invocation to an affecting major-key candour and tenderness, then back again.
