Allan Clayton demonstrates his exceptional versatility with a Liszt programme of eighteen songs, all of which-in contrasting ways-make prodigious technical and musical demands of the performers.
GRAMOPHONE AWARD NOMINATION 2019 - Solo Vocal
"A willingness to take risks…has always been integral to [Clayton's] singing, and the dividends are often enormous…There are also wonderful moments of lyrical reflection, though, and the way he sings 'Du bist wie eine Blume' with a poised mezza voce is breathtaking. Drake, meanwhile, invests every phrase with weight and meaning, and is, as ever, outstanding. Another fine disc in an exceptional series." - Gramophone
