Description
Finzi's small and select output sadly includes no original solo organ music, and organists will find these arrangements by Robert Gower, Alan Ridout, and Philip Brunelle gratifyingly idiomatic and rewarding. These arrangements make ideal quiet voluntaries or recital items with a difference. The rich sonorities of the original orchestral works transfer well to the organ.
