Abstract:
This latest release from the award-winning partnership of Gerald Finley and Julius Drake features the ballad, a literary and musical form that inspired the greatest voices of German Romanticism. This disc contains some of the greatest examples of the form, including Schubert's Erlkonig, as well as some fascinating and lesser-known works. Gerald Finley's unrivalled gift for characterization and storytelling makes him the ideal performer of these works.
