Description: Finzi lovers will be delighted with this new release not only for the gorgeous clarinet-quintet adaptation of the piano Bagatelles by the Finzi scholar Christian Alexander (who completed his Requiem da camera for a Naxos recording we offered last November [11Q006]) but also for the first recording of the Dibelleries of 1956 in which Finzi contributed a characteristic Forlana (Ferguson’s is a Waltz, Lutyens’ a Canonic Interlude and Maconchy’s a Con passione - the rest are untitled) to a 14-minute work any Anglophile will enjoy. Cologne Chamber Soloists.
