About
Ahead of the 80th birthday of one of Britain’s most singular compositional voices, this double album presents the complete organ works of Michael Finnissy—a body of music as rich in intellectual depth as it is in imagination. Performed with careful nuance by acclaimed American organist Forrest Eimold, these works span over six decades and chart the evolution of a composer constantly challenging himself to think beyond presumed forms.
