5.0 out of 5 stars THE Version of this masterpiece by Finzi, 24 Jul 2007
By Geoffrey Bellamy "Sambo-Geoff" (Yorkshire, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This version catches Ian Partridge at his best, flowing voice, effortlessly produced, very English in style - exactly what Finzi wanted and expected. The Guildford Phil are not the LSO, but Handley knows what he is doing and obtains fine playing from them. The phrasing, tone colour etc are masterfully done. The recording is good, warm and clear. I have the Langridge / Liverpool recording but this is better. The sound is not quite as good, but perfectly decent still, but Partridge is just more idiomatic an English lyric tenor than Langridge, fine though he is.
The other work is really a filler, fine, but not in the same league of inspiration as the Finzi, which is a masterpiece.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great CD, 14 Mar 2008
By Jeffrey Davis "jmd555555" (Sussex UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
Unlike the other reviewer, I regard Patrick Hadley's "The Trees So High" as the more interesting work here. Finzi's "Intimations" has many moments of great beauty (like the wonderful opening) but it did not keep my attention gripped in the way that Hadley's score did and I will focus on this work.

"The Trees So High" is Hadley's masterpice. In effect it is a hauntingly beautiful symphony with a vocal/choral last movement. It belongs in the English pastoral tradition with Vaughan Williams, Finzi, Ireland etc. Infact, I have seen it described (unfairly) as like "Vaughan Williams with water". I disagree; for all its great beauty, Vaughan Williams's music has a curiously impersonal quality to it, whereas Hadley's "Trees so High" is a deeply personal and intimate score. The tunes are beautiful and whenever I play the CD (as I often do), the music stays with me for a long time afterwards. Hadley's is a deeply moving, eloquent and poetic score dealing with the transitory nature of human existence.

This is the best performance on CD although there is a very fine alternative version on Chandos, which is desirable in view of the fine scores by Philip Sainton on the same CD. This is one of the most desirable of the new Lyritas. Great cover art and very informative notes too.
