Today is the 100th birthday of Gerald Finzi.  Finzi was a British composer,
author, and outdoorsman.  He left fewer than 50 works, many of which
are choral or solo vocal in nature.  On my radio show Tuesday, I'll be
presenting the 5 bagatelles arranged for flute and piano, the song-cycle
Dies Natalis, the delightful Clarinet Concerto, the eclogue for piano and
strings, a song set to Shakespeare and a Magnificat.  We'll end with his
Cello Concerto -- if I can find a copy of it, played by Raphael Wallfisch.

Any opinions on his work?

Susan
