Gerald Finley bass-baritone ; Julius Drake piano

Gerald Finley makes a welcome return to Wigmore Hall after an absence of almost five years with a fabulous programme built around Robert Schumann’s Dichterliebe and a handful of Edvard Grieg’s finest songs. The illustrious Canadian bass-baritone, recently awarded the prestigious title of Kammersänger of the Bavarian State Opera, crowns his recital with Samuel Barber’s spellbinding settings of poems from James Joyce’s Chamber Music and a selection of songs infused with pre-Christmas spirit.
