In celebration of the centenary of Finzi's birth, his setting of
Wordsworth's Intimations of Immortality is to be given in London shortly
with Philip Langridge / Richard Hickox.  Also included are For St.
Cecilia, and the clarinet concerto with featured soloist Andrew Marriner
(son of Sir Neville).

I have seen this setting of the Immortality Ode described as
'controversial' - why should this be so?

I notice that there is a Langridge/Hickox recording with Liverpudlian
forces - can anyone comment on this recording, or recommend any others?
