Jacques Imbrailo - Sibelius & Rachmaninov: Songs - The Sunday Times

An intriguing juxtaposition of composers who were geographically and chronologically relatively close. The programme, ranging from the naivety of Sibelius’s Christmas Songs to the unbridled joys of Rachmaninov’s Spring Waters, allows the South African baritone Imbrailo to show the full range of his considerable power and compass. Hogarth’s piano playing is excellent throughout.
