Michael Finnissy : This Church Shop Now

Shropshire Star

Too little attention is cast upon contemporary music. But while people thrill to the sound of historic favourites, there are new compositions worthy of note. One such is Finnissy’s This Church, a cycle of stirring, beautifully-sung music performed with great skill.
