CD ReviewsEnglish finest John van Maris | Rotterdam Netherlands | 04/27/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "This cd is worth buying already for the first 4 tracks, being most of the work that remains of George Butterworth, a composer who died too young as an officer in the battle of the Somme in 1916. If one hears the delicate and intense melodies and harmonies, the perfect setting of the instruments, one has to wonder what would have become of George Butterworth if he had not been shot by a German sniper. Gerald Finzi seems to be influenced by the work of Butterworth, and it is easy to hear how and why that is.The works of the other composers on this cd, especially the work of Parry, make it obvious that there is a good English tradition in classical music, that should deserve more of our attention."
