3 unusual facts about Christopher Finzi


Christopher Finzi

He made several recordings in his capacity as a conductor, including a performance of Gerald Finzi's Dies Natalis and music by Robin Milford and Edmund Rubbra.

Both he and his younger brother Nigel (1936–2010) attended Bedales School in Hampshire, an antidote to the harsh Victorian public school mentality, where they were exposed to a liberal education and intellectual freedom much in line with their parents' own progressive outlook on the world.

After his father's death in 1956, he helped his mother, Joy Finzi, to establish the Finzi Trust and sustain Gerald Finzi's reputation.
