5.0 out of 5 stars Full of Pleasure, 4 Jan 2008

By	N. E. M. Goulder (Saffron Walden, England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Finley is a Canadian with a wonderfully rounded voice and excellent diction; Drake is gaining all the time in world-ide reputation. Add that to an underrated composer in Samuel Barber and you have a recipe for a very pleasing disc.
Of course Barber's outlook really belongs many years earlier than his historic position. His Piano Sonata has some bold invention and stretches the pianist's fingers as well as the listener's ears without getting anywhere near the challenges of genuinely modern music. However here you have him in much more domestic mode. Many of the songs are crisp inventions, some even will-o'-the-wisp, but in a longer piece like Dover Beach (with chamber support rather than just piano) you will also find him seriously responsive to Arnold's famously thoughtful and beautiful poem. I particularly enjoyed the Irish groups ("Hermit Songs" and the three James Joyce settings). Copyright precludes the otherwise elegantly produced insert notes from providing the Joyce texts - you will not have difficulty finding them on the web, or ask me if needed, for having the words certainly enhances appreciation.
This was a happy Christmas present for me and I am sure it deserves wide circulation.
