MATTHEW POLENZANI tenor, JULIUS DRAKE piano<br />
Compact Disc CDA67782<br />
‘This stupendous disc, issued ahead of the <strong>Liszt</strong> bicentenary next year, marks the start of Hyperion’s<br />
survey of his complete songs … as with so much of his music, their difficulty in performance is to be<br />
found in their emotional and expressive extremes. <strong>The</strong> challenges are more than met here, with Polenzani<br />
doing things in songs such as Der Fischerknabe or Pace non trovo that you never thought were possible<br />
for a human voice, while Drake’s intensity is total and unswerving’ (<strong>The</strong> Guardian) ‘Polenzani is evidently<br />
a tenor of the finest quality: a lyric voice, sweet and ingratiating, with the capacity to ring out excitingly,<br />
gloriously easy on high but with a perfectly adequate body to the tone in its middle and lower registers …<br />
He sings with warmth, intelligence and conviction, matching the superb playing of his pianist Julius Drake’<br />
(Gramophone) ‘In the most intimate of these settings, as well as in the quasi-operatic ones, Polenzani<br />
and Drake create performances that are at once thoughtful, richly atmospheric and never less than<br />
compelling … This auspicious inauguration of the series whets the appetite for more’ (International<br />
Record Review)<br />
