Morphology
The meaning 'a spectacular and impressive performance at the end' is directly derivable from combining 'dazzling' (remarkably attractive or brilliant) with 'finale' (the final, most thrilling part). This is a regular adjective + noun composition following common lexical patterns (and similar constructions exist in many languages), so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily understand the phrase.
Etymology
Dazzling finale may come from shows that finish with bright lights or fireworks. Dazzling means very bright or very impressive and finale means the 'last part' of a show, so the phrase now means a 'spectacular and impressive' ending.
