Concerto No.5 in A

Finzi was an artist highly cultivated in the range of his interests. Whether it be the collecting of English literature, the saving from extinction of rare varieties of apple, or the promotion of composers - dead and living - who he considered to be neglected, he threw himself heart and soul into the task. With music, this enthusiasm resulted in a number of arrangements and performing editions which remain, as much as ever, of practical use and interest, while also serving as testimony to Finzi’s energy and vision.
