Beautiful new piece from Michael Finnissy.
Among the strongest of the commisons so far.

I wanted to discover more about this composer and was perplexed by the negative stance for his biography on his clunky website:
“My biography? Doesn’t “fit in”. From the wrong side of the tracks all the way. Virtual failure in commercial terms, but who the hell cares either way?”
The reality is otherwise and there’s a risk of self-prophecy here! Elizabeth Lutyens fell into the same trap.
