GRAMOPHONE AWARD WINNER 2009 / SOLO VOCAL

GRAMOPHONE EDITOR'S CHOICE

"I admit that I hesitated before making this Dichetrliebe and Editor's Choice, for the simple reason that Gerald Finley is rarely out of these pages. But here again he sings with such mellifluous tone, allied to such perceptiveness and intensity of expression that one simply cannot leave him out. Regret and bitterness infuse this recital, even mockery, as Finley balances consuming rage and choking sorrow."
(Gramophone)

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.
