Gerald Finley, always an intelligent and rewarding singer, has produced something rather special here. In the last year of his life, Shostakovich turned to the beautiful, philosophical poetry of Michelangelo and set a valedictory self-portrait in song, symphonic in its ambition. He used a Russian translation, but Finley, who studied medieval Italian, has fashioned an authentic text to work with Shostakovich's music. The result, under the careful direction of Thomas Sanderling, is both moving and profound, with Finley at his warm and sinuous best. And there is more revelation in the Six Romances on Verses by English Poets. A manuscript version for full orchestra, thought to be lost in the 1940s but miraculously rediscovered, glows here in all its sombre glory.
