I lost both sets of parents within four months in 2018. I discovered this piece soon thereafter, and to this day, cannot listen to it without completely losing it. Thank you for posting such a lovely performance. It rips my heart to shreds.

[MichaelConwayBaker]

One of the most poignant pieces of music in the repertoire. Thanks to all for this wonderful music.

[hudsondeal]

Quite lovely and affecting -- Finzi was not afraid to exhibit genuine tenderness in his music.

[geraldaustin]

Truly Beautiful remembering a friend who has died

[jerrera]

Played with such warmth, tenderness, and grace.

[fiyenalison]

Don't understand why Finzi is not more famous. Maybe he will be one day.

Mr Plano is a real artist. Got moved by every single note played by this exquisite pianist. Bravo, Roberto !

[fabbyclef]

Time and space melt into music, beautiful timeless in solution.

[christosnoulis]

The best interpretation of this piece ever. Both pianist and orchestra are awe inspiring.

[gracebyrne]

Gut wrenchingly emotional. Full of longing and pain and love and tenderness. Finzi really felt.

[stevenself]

Absolutely the best performance of this piece I've ever heard. Slower is better and anything under eleven minutes (there are many) doesn't do it justice. Finzi would be pleased with this one!!

[evanofelipe]

I have no issues with the tempo whatsoever.  It's just played a little slower than many performances I've heard of this piece, but in fact I really like it. The pace readily connects with 'the soul' and I think, makes you inclined to be more contemplative. Thank you for sharing it.

I tried typing something but I can't. I'm trying to understand my reasons why I'm so affected by this music. Speechless by beauty! What an amazing orchestra and sensitive pianist.

[garybills]

Now Finzi's been found, he won't be lost again.

[jesseboydmusic]

Fantastic. I love the interpretation. Slower than most, which I really prefer. Also the tone of the piano ... wow!

[stephenmessick]

Absolutely gorgeous. Finzi will dive straight into your soul.

[colinsmith]

Soloist and Orchestra as one result sheer bliss. Thank you all.

[prabhakarvalivati]

There is something poignant and ethereal about this piece of music which cannot be captured in words. Sit back, sip a good wine and soak in...

[FrankPVel]

This is One of the Most Sentimental pieces of Finzi, I just love it, it's amazing, perfect.

[SueShanahan-bb]

This is the most perfect rendition I have heard! A little piece of heaven - uplifting and mournful at the same time. Like others have said I prefer the slower tempo ❤
