Gerald Finzi - Eclogue for Piano and Strings, Op. 10 [with score]

Tom Poster - piano
Nicholas Collon - conductor
Aurora Orchestra
recording date: c. 2016
Note: I was going to use the full score for this score-video instead of a piano reduction, but the only full score that i can find is very low in quality so I used the piano reduction instead.

this sounds like two people who have loved each other in secret finally realizing that they feel the same about each other. it sounds like a first kiss in the rain. it sounds like love, not at first sight, but love finally, love now. it sounds like a beautiful moment of clarity, like a weight lifting off your shoulders.

I cried to this music.

Finzi, Patron saint of close-harmony.

And voice-leading....

[@naturalississimo]

This is the simplest, most straight forward, and true to the text performance that I have heard on TH-cam of this piece. Really well played by Mr. Poster, and the orchestra, and comductor. Bravo!

The arranger, Howard Ferguson, is also a fantastic composer, who I recommend the Sonata and Bagatelles as a must listen.

I love the baroque sound but with freedoms of todays music

Che meraviglia.

[@oritdrimer4354]

It sounds like if Bach was a romantic composer

Had Finzi been from the German lineage, he would have most likely been more well known.

Very sweet stuff. Easily digestible.

[@alexribeiro570]

In wich year did he compose this?

[@renzo6490]

He began working on it as a slow movement for a piano concerto in the late 1920s.
He revised it later and it was published in its present form a year after his death.
He died in 1956.
