Product Description

Product Description
This is a biography of a composer whose music is rooted in the tradition of Elgar, Parry, Vaughan Williams and those composers in the opening decades of the 20th century for whom song writing was a principal means of expression. Finzi is now seen as he may have seen himself - as an artist whose limitations were innate and whose pastoral or provincial lifestyle and aspirations would reflect those limitations whilst somehow invalidating them.

4.0 out of 5 stars Best Finzi book currently available, 21 May 2001
By A Customer
Seemingly exhaustive (over 500 pages) book covering the life and works of this underrated English composer, who worked in the first half of the 20th Century. Easy to read/understand. Obviously well researched. If you want a book to accompany the Centenary celebrations in 2001, this is it. Don't be frightened by its size!
