Digital Booklet

"Recording of the Month ... (Gerald Finley’s) voice is clear yet lush of tone. He sings across an incessantly inventive and beckoning orchestral arioso."
- MusicWeb International
"Five Stars ... Finley, expressive as ever, catches the shifting moods of hedonism and world-weary philosophy engagingly ... altogether, well worth hearing."
- BBC Music Magazine
"Canto V finds the Helsinki Phil sounding alert and committed under John Storgårds, the Helsinki choir gives it loudly behind spirited tenor Mika Pohjonen in the Balada and Gerald Finley makes rousing stuff of Rubáiyát ..."
- The Guardian
"... well worth the wait ... Rubáiyát is nothing short of a magical piece of music ... the music shimmers and glistens ... (Finley's voice) sounds even better than in the past ... the rich mix of orchestral and vocal colour is intoxicating. This is most definitely one of those gems that will be taken out of its box and admired frequently, both by listeners and singers ..."
- The WholeNote
