Gerald Finley (baritone) & Julius Drake (piano) Why another Dichterliebe recording? Because Gerald Finley has simply one of the greatest voices of his generation, and is an artist at the peak of his powers. He brings to this noble song cycle the supreme technical ability and penetrating musical understanding that characterize all his performances, whether on the concert platform, in the recording studio or on the great opera stages of the world. This is his fourth disc with collaborator Julius Drake, and the partnership has proved to be a uniquely rewarding one. This fine recital also includes many of Schumann’s other Heine settings. The extremes of elation and despair in Heine’s poetry stimulated Schumann to write some of his most poignant and unforgettable songs. This is truly a disc to treasure. “[Finley] brings eloquence to the text and maturity to his interpretations, but with a still youthful-sounding voice. Darker and more “bassy” of tone than Dieskau, he is especially impressive in the sardonic and bitter songs...Finley is a gripping narrator, too, in the tale of Belshazzar’s feast, and can refine his voice to the most arresting of internalised confidences in the love songs to Clare Wieck.” Sunday Times, 14th September 2008 **** “Finley is a much less knowing, more direct performer than Fischer-Dieskau, concentrating less on precise verbal nuance (though his German diction is wonderfully clear) than on more generalised expressive contours, but the effect is still overwhelmingly powerful.” Andrew Clements, The Guardian, 5th September 2008 ***** “Doubts as to whether the world needs yet another Dichterliebe are allayed by a performance that probes the extremes of Schumann's evocation of remembered, blighted love. Gerald Finley's burnished baritone is one of the most beautiful voices to have recorded the cycle.” The Telegraph, 6th September 2008 “Finley's performance gives huge pleasure and insight…” BBC Music Magazine, September 2008 **** |

| |  | Schumann: Adagio (Music Arranged for Cello and Piano)
Thérèse Ryan (cello), Francine Chabot (piano) Schumann’s passionate, hypersensitive nature makes him one of the great romantic German composers. He created a body of work that reveals, according to Gilles Cantagrel, "a world of dusk and twilight where reason topples into madness, of tragic nuptials, of sating yet wretched love affairs, of soul carnivals and noxious dreams and vistas." This inspired pair of artists is totally committed to sharing an offering of Schumann’s “lyrical poetry.” | | | Usually despatched in 3 - 4 working days. |
