“They’re all tales <strong>and</strong> Finley is a fine tale-teller. In<br />
Loewe, he sounds as though he’s singing just for<br />
you, the listener, so rapt <strong>and</strong> intense is his<br />
communication. Drake is a fine accomplice,<br />
tuning his fingers to full orchestral capacity for<br />
Schumann’s psycho-drama ‘Die Löwenbraut’ <strong>and</strong><br />
Wolf’s ‘Der Feuerreiter’” -BBC Music Magazine<br />
