Great Operatic Arias
Finley; London Philharmonic Orchestra; Gardner
Leading baritone and dramatic interpreter of his generation, Gerald Finley is an artist who sets alight the stage and delights the ear, whatever the role he portrays. On this his first arias album, and first for Opera in English, he explores a broad range of repertory: old favourites, hidden treasures and roles which he himself has created, among them J. Robert Oppenheimer in John Adam's Doctor Atomic and Harry Heegan in Mark-Anthony Turnage's The Silver Tassie.

"This is a hugely impressive recital from a singer who has gone from strength to strength in recent years in matching an exceptional voice to a powerful stage presence."
Opera News
"That rare thing, this, an arias album that works as a dramatic experience when listened to straight through. It's partly to do with choice of repertoire — two of Finley's contemporary roles (Dr Atomic and Harry in the superb The Silver Tassie) leaven the obligatory Puccini and Bizet. But the singer brings characteristic intensity to each character. Great fun, sometimes rather more."
Gramophone
"...a first-class voice; he is also intelligent and versatile."
