For the second week running, we are delighted to learn that an artist who will be performing for Malvern Concert Club next season appears in a recording chosen for BBC Radio 3's Building a Library. James Gilchrist, with the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra conducted by David Hill, was selected by Elin Manahan Thomas for their recording of Dies Natalis by Gerald Finzi (Naxos 8.570417 2007). Our congratulations to all concerned.

Dies Natalis was first performed at the Hereford Three Choirs Festival in 1946, where it was conducted by its composer. This was the first gathering of the Three Choirs since 1938 due to the Second World War.

James Gilcrhist appears in our Armistice Centenary Concert 'Faith, Fate and the Futility of War', with Philip Dukes and Anna Tilbrook on 22nd November. JH
