Marking Finzi’s 125th birthday and the 70th anniversary of his death, Nick and pianist Ian Tindale present all three of the composer’s tenor song cycles alongside five world premiere recordings of early unpublished songs, sourced from manuscripts held at the Bodleian Library. Till Earth Outwears, A Young Man’s Exhortation and Oh Fair to See together span Finzi’s career from teenage sketches to his final completed song, setting texts by Hardy, Ivor Gurney, Edmund Blunden, Christina Rossetti and Chaucer. Over 70 minutes of music, this is the only recording to bring all three cycles together with the addition of previously unheard works.
