About

Following critically acclaimed Glyndebourne performances in Michael Grandage’s Billy Budd and Brett Dean’s Hamlet, Jacques Imbrailo has established himself as one of the most exciting young baritones on the world stage.

His debut solo recital for Linn sees him perform with fellow Prince Consort alumni, Alisdair Hogarth, in a mouth-watering programme of Sibelius and Rachmaninov songs.

Among the selection is In the silence of the mysterious night, one of Rachmaninov’s best-loved songs and one of the composer’s greatest achievements in this genre.

Rachmaninov’s trademark melodicism is met with a perfect partner in Imbrailo’s lyric baritone, whilst his expressive and highly intricate accompaniments find a worthy partner in Hogarth.

Providing a welcome contrast to the intensity of Rachmaninov is the Nordic sentimentality that Sibelius brings to his highly romantic songs. The pearl of the Opus 37 collection is Was is a dream?, which the composer himself described as ‘my most beautiful song’.

Together the duo perfectly communicates the passions and anxieties of a poet’s lost love; the rich tone of Imbrailo’s final note provides an immensely satisfying close.

Reviews

September 2018

Imbrailo is an excellent guide throughout. The singing is technically impressive and the voice is youthful and focused, virile but with a constant hint of vulnerability…Bigger, grander (and more Slavic-sounding) voices might remain the preference for some listeners but…Imbrailo’s handsome timbre and focus bring ample rewards – as do the sensitivity , care and intelligence of both performers.

3rd June 2018

The programme, ranging from the naivety of Sibelius’s Christmas Songs to the unbridled joys of Rachmaninov’s Spring Waters, allows the South African baritone Imbrailo to show the full range of his considerable power and compass. Hogarth’s piano playing is excellent throughout.

23rd May 2018

Both composers wrestled with the emerging modernism of the 20th century, and this is nowhere more evident in their intimate and straightforwardly evocative song settings. Baritone Jacques Imbrailo and pianist Alisdair Hogarth highlight the similarities and contrasts in this delightfully nuanced recording.
