Reviews
Diana McVeagh, who has edited a massive, 1080-page two-kilo volume of the composer's letters, is clear-headed and unsentimental in her estimation of his importance. . . . The book is fascinating for its glimpses into not only into the creative mind of a lesser composer and his circle, but also a time and place., This unique volume ... is a treasure trove, beautifully organized and entrancing to read.... Finzi appears to have been an inveterate writer of often long and detailed letters, and his amenable style of prose makes for compelling reading., By bringing together this collection of Finzi's letters, arguably among the finest of any 20th-century British composer, admirers and enthusiasts of the music of this period are in Diana McVeagh's debt: this volume is a treasure trove to return to - again, and again., In our age of extravagant promotion, intensive publicity, and the frequent over-politicisation of many writers, I believe it is hard to over-estimate the importance of Diana McVeagh's volume of Finzi letters. . . . By combining this vast trove of letters with a first-class commentary, we can experience at first-hand this vivid depiction of a certain strand within twentieth-century British music. [It] reveals not just an individual but a whole community., Gerald Finzi was an eager and urbane letter-writer, and Diana McVeagh, now in her 96th year, has done him proud. Her edition is a triumph of determined common sense and value for money., The publication of Diana McVeagh's long-awaited edition of Finzi's letters is properly a cause for celebration. They are an invaluable resource for those interested in British music during the first half of the twentieth century. The letters encompass an amazingly broad spectrum of musical life. The painstakingly researched cast of musical executants, composers and writers (as well as pomologists) means that countless students of Finzi's era will find new resources or be able to extend their existing understanding., This wonderful labour of love (and it must have been a labour) preserves in a quite special way the history of the life and times of a very specific musical milieu as well as Finzi's personal musical history . . . a literary and musical "Everest" elegantly conquered: a quite outstanding achievement., The 41-year span of these letters represents a substantial resource as an informal social history of the time and of the sensibilities and musical activities of one man and his circle. . . . Because of the interesting variety of Finzi's correspondents - including important movers and shakers in the British musical life of the time, as well as those now rarely remembered - these letters add a significant depth of individual flavour to the more general historical treatments.

Synopsis
WINNER of the 2022 C.B. Oldman prize (IAML) More than 1600 fully annotated letters from and to Gerald Finzi, spanning the composer's life., A fully annotated edition of more than 1600 letters from and to Gerald Finzi, spanning the composer's life from ca. the early 1920s up until his untimely death in 1956. WINNER of the 2022 C.B. Oldman prize, by the International Association of Music Libraries, Archives and Documentation Centres (IAMLS UK & Irl) Gerald Finzi's (1901-1956) masterpiece is the radiant and touching cantata Dies Natalis. He is also highly regarded for his Thomas Hardy song-settings, for his Intimations of Immortality, and for his fine cello and clarinet concertos. As a scholar, he championed the then neglected composers Hubert Parry and Ivor Gurney, and the eighteenth-century John Stanley, William Boyce and Richard Mudge, composers he revived with the amateur orchestra he founded. Diana McVeagh, Finzi's biographer, brings together more than 1600 letters from and to Gerald Finzi, spanning the composer's life from the early 1920s until his untimely death in 1956. His more than 160 correspondents include Ralph Vaughan Williams, Herbert Howells, Edmund Rubbra, Arthur Bliss and Howard Ferguson, Michael Tippett, Benjamin Britten and Sir John Barbirolli, the poet Edmund Blunden, and the artist John Aldridge, making this a portrait not only of Gerald Finzi but also of his group of composer, musician and artist friends in the first half of the twentieth century. In these mostly unpublished letters Finzi emerges as a multi-faceted and complex character, developing from a solitary, introverted youth into a man with strong views and wide interests: education, pacifism, vegetarianism, the Arts and Crafts movement and the English pastoral tradition, among others. From amusing trivia to the deeply serious ideas and principles Finzi set out at the onset of war and in the 1950s, these letters allow for first-hand insights into his personality and background. This definitive edition is fully annotated, offering context with substantial commentaries on the correspondence, illustrations by Joy Finzi, a chronology, bibliography and a catalogue of works.
