Concert - Songs of a Wayfarer

From the Oulu Sinfonia website:

"....The British baritone, multiple-time Gramophone winner and several times chosen as the soloist of the year Sir Simon Keenlyside is known as a singer who expresses the emotions of humanity both through soft whispers and powerful belts. Both skills are required when performing Gustav Mahler’s Songs of a Wayfarer....."

From the Oulu Sinfonia Facebook account:

"...the audience was charmed in the first half by baritone Sir Simon Keenlyside, whose interpretation of Mahler's Vaeltava Kisälli songs included sensitivity and power...."
