"The quality of the recorded sound is excellent ... this may well be the best introduction to Finzi that I've come across."
- Fanfare
"... a stylish performance from baritone Farnsworth ... his voice is well suited to Finzi’s manner as is the playing of the Finzi Quartet ... this deserves a strong recommendation."
- MusicWeb International
"... Farnsworth captures the introspective melancholy of the cycle splendidly and the award-winning Finzi Quartet provide an intimately measured accompaniment, full of nuance and tender hues."
- Gramophone
This is the debut album from the award-winning Finzi Quartet, a stunning selection of works by English composer Gerald Finzi. Included is Finzi's song cycle for baritone and string quartet By Footpath and Stile, featuring acclaimed young baritone Marcus Farnsworth. The recording also contains Finzi’s Interlude for oboe and string quartet with oboist Ruth Bolister and four arrangements for string quartet by Christian Alexander, including the popular Five Bagatelles with clarinetist Robert Plane, recorded here for the first time.
