Welcome to the 1951 Rolling Review Show which features pieces of music I have enjoyed at some time in my life. I hope you enjoy them as well. Let me know if you do.

This is rather marvellous, I’ve had it pootling away in the background while I go about my business. Thank you, Chris!
Hi Lucy. It is a lovely piece. It is amazing how such wonderful music can pass us by. Only heard it a few days ago for the first time. Glad you enjoyed your post over on Routine Matters. Hope the work is going well. Chris.
P.S. .. Watkins and Bic say hi. 🎶🎶
It was such a lovely post, thank you, Chris. Please do pass on my best to the lovely Watkins and Bic!
And … just read your latest post about those mind stages, so that was good timing. 😁🎶
Excellent timing!
As the actress said to the clock-maker.
Love Finzi – but this was new to me – thank you, so moving.
Hi Peter. Yes, it certainly is a moving piece. Thanks so much for dropping by. Chris.
Reblogged this on Die Erste Eslarner Zeitung – Aus und über Eslarn, sowie die bayerisch-tschechische Region!.
Thank you so much for this. Spreading beautiful music is a wonderful thing to do. 😊🎶
Hi Chris – Thank you so much. I had not heard of Finzi… but loved this piece. In the context of my Post today, it would get an immediate 4-star rating with a strong possibility of 5-star after a few listenings. As an aside, I cannot imagine how he must have felt in his teens (1914-18 war), and then 20 years later (1939-1945 war). Perhaps that is why his music is so sensitive?
Hi Colin. Finzi did have quite a bleak outlook on life.
He found solace in the works of Thomas Hardy and in poetry.
His own father died when he was just eight. All three of his brothers also died. Pretty tough. Hopefully he found peace in his music.
Hopefully so, but have attitudes really changed as a result of so many armed conflicts? Sadly, the answer would appear to be “No”.
New to me
Me too. A nice discovery. 😊🎶🎻
That’s a beautiful piece of music and the pictures add some magic. Or the music adds magic to the pics… don’t know…
New to me and playing nicely in background. Lovely moving piece

Finzi is new to me. What a lovely piece. I think I shall take it with me when I visit the dentist. Thank you.
That’s a great idea for dental music. Either that or the 1812 Overture.
This is nice.
Thank you very much Philip. 😁🎶
Just now popping over to see your blog.
Thank you so much. This is very kind of you.
