In particular, the feelings of 'loneliness and quiet rapture' in her paintings drew Finch in, and fit with his self-confessed predilection for the themes of solitude, mourning and spiritual longing. The ten works on this disc each capture an 'inner world' of a particular landscape - in Canada, Germany, North Wales and New York.\u003c\/p\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePerformed by the Canadian flautist Lisa Nelsen ('a flautist and a half' - The Times newspaper), the pianist Aleksander Szram, cellist Caroline Szram, and the violinists Mieko Kanno and Toby Tramaseur,the music spans Finch's compositional output from his early 20s, when he lived in Canada, to the present, after he moved to the UK in 1993.\u003c\/p\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e'This music is inward-looking and deeply personal, though the world it looks into is cavernous, elusiveand unending, a sound-world quite unlike any that I have so far encountered.' - Aleksander Szram, piano\u003c\/p\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePersonnel: Aleksander Szram (piano), Lisa Nelson (flute), Mieko Kanno, Toby Tramaseur (violin), Caroline Szram (violin)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGently Flowing\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCalm\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eQuick March\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSlow March\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGently Flowing\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLyric\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFantasy On A Russian Folksong\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSummer\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChorale 1\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLandscape 3\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUcluelet\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChorale 11\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLamentations\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoral 111\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55170996175233,"sku":"585194","price":14.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/51s6lBHXvaL._SL1500.jpg?v=1768105705","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/585194","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
