Finnissy: English Country Tunes

Don't be misled by the title; you won't find yourself humming in the Dorian mode. This is a monumental work, austere, with disembodied floating, menacing rumbles and discordant splashing around the keyboard. Tough and gritty, but compelling, and brilliantly played. Wadham Sutton
