Marking Finzi’s 125th birthday, tenor Nick Pritchard and pianist Ian Tindale present all three of the composer’s Hardy song cycles alongside five world premiere recordings of early unpublished songs, sourced from manuscripts held at the Bodleian Library.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.
Finzi: The Dance Continued – Nick Pritchard
Till Earth Outwears, Op. 19a
Let me enjoy the earth
In years defaced
The Market-Girl
I look into my glass
It never looks like summer
At a lunar eclipse
Life laughs onward
Budmouth dears
Her temple
The comet at Yell’ham
Shortening days
The sigh
Former beauties
Transformations
The dance continued (‘Regret not me’)
Days too short
A Cradle Song
The Terrible Robber Men
Rondel
English Hills
A Young Man’s Exhortation, Op. 14
A young man’s exhortation
Ditty
Oh Fair to See, Op. 13b
I say “I’ll seek her”
Oh fair to see
As I lay in the early sun
Only the wanderer
To Joy
Harvest
Since we loved
Nick Pritchard, Ian Tindale
