I've been a fan of Butterworth for a long time. It's a shame no one knows of him!

4:40

What a tragedy for British music that Butterworth was killed in the war. These songs show such incredible promise. A fine performance by Roderick, though it demonstrates the dilemma of how to make the songs more important thang the singer.

Wonderful!

I hear it!

I’ve always wanted to orchestrate these songs. But I’m glad someone other than me did it. And done very well. Knowing the orchestral work that Butterworth wrote with the same title, this version seems to resemble what Butterworth might have done had he not been killed so young. Bravo!

Great! I especially like the Rondo last movement! & the picturers are outstanding! I'd like to roam about such trees.

What can I say, he’s awesome 👏

Last weekend, I saw Emma Johnson playing the 'Victorian Kitchen Garden Suite' and an enjoyable work of her own. Even though I once played the clarinet and was sitting a few feet from her, I was none the wiser as to how she produces the sounds that she does. I'd love to hear her play this excellent little piece.

What an awful video?! Missed almost 80% of the area out and focused on one building?!

Imo Roddy Williams is the best interpreter of all Finzi songs for baritone but also most English song! His expression, passion, technique, rich sounding timbre fits the genre so well!

Ô ma France …Voici l’une de tes voix ❤

Großes Werk und tolle Aufnahme, danke

Where do I get the score to this? Just wonderful! Thank you ...

Roderick Williams is THE BOSS ❤

Beautiful! Thank you and greetings from California.

So lovely

He has a wonder voice . I love this song to the cherry tree.

So sad the ensemble members are anonymous.

Goodpiece.

Thanks for sharing! Very listenable!

Bravo! Thanks so very much for sharing your marvelous music.

A big thank-you to the person who went to so much trouble to transfer this long sought version so superbly.That the effort and none too accurate singing is noticeable in Ms Cross’s singing I am grateful for being able to hear it at last.Sussan Gritton is far superior but agree a tenor is preferred.The sound is better that I thought It might be.Once again many thanks.

Mah. Al di la della realizzazione moderna; il tema composto da Schubert per questo scherzo non è all'altezza dei 2 movimenti precedenti. Chissà, forse la sinfonia restò incompiuta perchè Schubert non ebbe il tempo (data la prematura morte) di comporre gli ultimi due movimenti in modo che fossero all'altezza dei primi due.

Da iawn, Roderick!

How beautiful. Celestial voice.

He was a friend of Proust's.

For me,the best of Boult's versions of the symphony. The grasp of form in the second movement is aweinspiring.

It was on the fifth of August, the weather hot and fair, Unto Brigg Fair I did repair, for love I was inclined. I got up with the lark in the morning with my heart full of glee, Expecting there to meet my dear, long time I wished to see.

Amazing

I wrote and recorded now my own version of this wonderful Scherzo: th-cam.com/video/FSndEjJPeTM/w-d-xo.html

A great Scherzo - I have tried now the same. Especially my Trio ist quite different --> th-cam.com/video/FSndEjJPeTM/w-d-xo.html

I love the orchestration. Wish you would have credited the singer, orchestra, and conductor.

beautiful concert perfect, such clean diction

FINE SINGER

English music is beautiful and unique.

How moving and beautifully sung! Those last two songs especially. That twist at the end of the last song.... I guess the ghostly questioner was silenced after that response from his friend. The fourth song is rightfully angry and bitter about the seeming inevitability of war.

This was one of the first LPs I ever bought over 50 years ago and I still have it and love it. His poignant singing of Denis Browne's gem moves me every time I hear it. He was the finest singer of Finzi and Gurney in my view - precise tones and perfect clarity of diction , if a bit public school at times!

A luxury. Already a total grasp of form and structure. The German training in his blood

If you listen to this every morning, it will profoundly change your outlook on life

Wonderful to hear this having listened to the Delius version for so many years

How peaceful,and so idyllic……

Call me stupid but please someone say who the singer is?

What a waste of a life.

Très émouvant!

The silence at the end brought tears to my eyes...

Wow, I did not expect to hear an alto sax in solo contrary motion with a bone (in Elephants). Nice touch, Phillip! Some nice melodic extensions in Celebration, and a creative ending (hint at multi tempo counterpoint, some nice chromatic sequencing, some nice stacked harmonies, etc.). This particular movement sounds much more like "you," and much less of a throwback or homage to the limitations of any other particular composer or style. From my point of view, your "Celebration" if you developed it significantly, would make a really fine composition in it's own right. (You only touched the surface--there is a lot of thematic material that could be wistfully developed into a frenzy of an truly exciting work). I hope you consider that. Bravo!
