“One of Finzi's loveliest creations given an alchemical touch by Handley (has this orchestra ever sounded so golden?). The choir struggles to match, but Partridge sings with intimacy and understanding. Hadley's pastel-shaded score is a nice companion.” BBC Music Magazine, October 2007 **** “The works pair uncommonly well, especially in the way Finzi's opening follows Hadley's conclusion so naturally that the one might almost be a commentary on the other. The recordings date from 1978 (Hadley) and 1975 Finzi. Both were warmly received on first issue and continue to impress as fine performances. They provide timely reminders that in Vernon Handley we had one of the best conductors of British music in this period. Both soloists are ideally suited, and if we make special mention of Ian Partridge it is because his is the major undertaking.” Gramophone Magazine, June 2007 | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
