Description
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 disc, 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 Adams's Doctor Atomic and Harry Heegan in Mark-Anthony Turnage's The Silver Tassie. Gerald has won accolades across the globe including Gramophone Editor's Choice Award at the 2006 Gramophone Awards for Stanford: Songs of the Sea (CHSA 5043). English National Opera director, Edward Gardner offers a great understanding of Opera in English and here conducts the London Philharmonic Orchestra in his debut on Chandos.
