I wish Finzi had more recognition. His works have such depth, and he was so brilliant at orchestration. This is a masterpiece in every sense of the word.

Having read the Wiki entry for Finzi, I am further appreciative of his creative work. He suffered serious emotional setbacks, including the loss of his father before his 8th birthday and three brothers during his formative years. Some of his best music, notably, is elegiac in nature.

A masterpiece. I heard this many years and was so overwhelmed I wrote to Finzi's widow of my admiration for this work. Finzi certainly deserves a place among the first rank of 20th c. composers.

This concerto is some of the most beautiful English music ever written - melancholic, wistful, elegiac - reminiscent of the season of mists and mellow fruitfulness and, at a personal level, a dear friend who took his own life many years ago.

Gorgeous playing from Robert Plane. Such a perfect match for this sad, rich, expressive music. Finzi just gets more and more and interesting the more one listens and plays. The sun only rarely makes an appearance from behind the clouds.

This is my favourite clarinet concerto of them all. I played this many years ago for my 2nd year recital (uni). The high C came out beautifully (pure luck hehe). I listen to this concerto once every few months with fondness. Such a beautiful work.

A vein of quite profound melancholy runs through much of Finzi's work, and a lot of other English classical music for that matter. But it's a kind of romantic melancholy I find appealing rather than despairing.
