Reviews
Its pages include several detailed studies of works by Finzi...and cumulatively testify to both Finzi's important role in reviving English musical life after the Second World War, and to the impact his music has had on fellow composers and performers.[...] In its eccentric way, The Clock of the Years is as effective as many more fashionable texts in encouraging us to question the "great man" view of the musical canon. TLS
Once you begin it you really don't want to put it down for very long...There are some real gems here. JOURNAL OF THE RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS SOCIETY
Rolf Jordan has achieved a marvel in selecting and arranging this wonderful anthology. CHURCH TIMES
Essential, surprising and gratifying reading. BRITISH MUSIC SOCIETY NEWS
Finzians will not...be disappointed with this book and indeed if you are at all interested in Finzi's circle, the story of his life and of the renaissance of his music since the early 1970s this book is essential, surprising and gratifying reading. MUSIC WEB INTERNATIONAL
