Terrific debut album for Huw Montague Rendall, showcasing his multifaceted talent and stylistic sensitivity.

Contemplation spans three centuries, the idioms of opera, operetta, Broadway musical, lied and mélodie with arias and songs by Mozart, Thomas, Gounod, Duparc, Messager, Mahler, Korngold, Rodgers and Britten. In a duet from Mozart's Die Zauberflöte the baritone is joined by Canadian soprano Elisabeth Boudreault.
