GRAMOPHONE MAGAZINE AWARD WINNER 2008 - Solo Vocal --

"This is a pretty stunning achievement. At his most mellifluous and focused, Gerald Finley has beauty of tone to spare. But he is also at his most expressive"
Gramophone Magazine (Disc of the Month Jan 2008)

"As on his 2005 Ives collection, the Canadian baritone Gerald Finley is golden in tone, persuasive in phrasing, and unfailingly responsive to the sound and sense of the words. Julius Drake once more proves a strong and imaginative partner, and a quartet from the Aronowitz Ensemble makes a promising recording debut." BBC Music Five Stars
