Artistic sentiments

[sawyl]

Although I know no one else shares my taste in music, I'm still going to recommend a new recording of settings of Thomas Hardy and Shakespeare by Finzi. It's totally worth a fiver of anyone's hard earned cash. Ok, so Finzi isn't a Messiaen or a Britten, but when it comes to setting bittersweet poetry, he's up there with the very best the last century had to offer.
