Following the critical acclaim for Iain Burnside's partnership with soprano Ailish Tynan in the first volume of Burnside's Schubert song series on Delphian, this second volume sees him partnered by another friend and long-term collaborator, baritone Roderick Williams. Their lovingly designed programme takes its tone from the strand of journeying and farewell that threads through Schubert's song output. Burnside's pianism is as masterful and vivid as ever, while Roderick Williams, fresh from his triumph at the 2016 Royal Philharmonic Society Awards, combines drama and intellect and shows the qualities that continue to endear him both to critics and to audiences.
"This is a most intelligently planned programme and the execution by Roderick Williams and Iain Burnside is superb. The recital is as enjoyable as it is distinguished. Delphian's presentational standards are as high as usual. The recorded sound is very pleasing. The church venue imparts a pleasing but far from excessive resonance and the singer is heard in excellent balance with the piano. The booklet is excellent."
