The recent recording of the Violin concerto by Tasmin Little and the City of London Sinfonietta under the direction of Richard Hickox is one of the best. There are the two string orchestra pieces on this CD too along with a song cycle orchestrated by various leading young british omposers including Judith Wier.
One of my favorite 'chill-outs' is the Eclogue for strings and piano. This is what J.S. Bach would have sounded like had he lived in our time, I'm sure. Nice bit of research by the way MI! The apple business is a nice foil to Delius's venture with oranges in Florida.

I think Chandos have undertaken a 'Complete Finzi' project recently so there will be no need for Lisztfreak to worry!
