"Det hele fungerer for Finley ... Her fanger barytonen en fornem fransk og følsom tone. Også i en række af Ravels rent kunstmusikalske lieder - eller chansons, som franskmændene foretrækker at sige ... Med hjælp fra endnu en stjerneakkompagnatør, nemlig Julius Drake, får Gerald Finley meget ud af hans [Ravel] kunst".

"Man kan også kun glæde sig over den måde, sangene bliver foredraget på af Gerald Finley. Hans fleksible, varme, smeltende baryton passer perfekt til disse sanges strømmende udtryksfulde melodilinjer, musikalsk intelligente karakteriseringer og følsomme persontegninger. Julius Drakes varmtklingende klaverspil smyger sig lydhørt om Finleys stemme, og de får sammen skabt en lystfyldt musikalsk rum, man har lyst til at besøge ofte".

"Recordings of the French mélodie by native artists have been of variable quality over the last 40 years ... All the more reason to rejoice when, as here, a singer combines a beautiful voice with intelligence, crisp diction and a real sense of style".

"It feels inadequate, then, just to descirbe this enchanting new collection from Gerald Finley and Julius Drake as the best modern recital devoted to the wonderfully varied world of ravel's songs ... Julius Drake's warm-toned playing is, as ever, a perfect foil, all captured in hyperion's wonderful (for CD) sound. Riches indeed".

"Gubisch, with a vocal timbre of melliflous beauty and well-focused richness, responds with a strikingly malleable spectrum of sensibility to the varied scenarios that Ravel encapsulates ... always with Altinoglu applying just the right pianistic brush strokes to make the picture complete".

"Vurdering: Editor's choice" - "Finley's melliflous, malleable baritone is similarly an ideal match for this repertoire, with lines eloquently floated, nuances subtly voiced and character sensitivity defined. This is a beguiling programme, beautifully performed".
