Original-Ausgabe CDA66876 // This album brings together two of Finzi's most characteristic works. Dies Natalis, a setting of prose and verse by the seventeenth-century poet Thomas Traherne, is a piece of sublime concord and timelessness, music which vividly suggests the vision of a child's innocence and unsullied perception of the world which lies at the heart of Traherne's philosophy. Intimations of Immortality is by contrast a lament for the lost joys of Traherne's idealized childhood.
