A Lad’s Love

Featured

“Mobley probes the words’ subtleties, expressing the son’s fear, disbelief, and sense of betrayal with unpretentious pathos” – Joseph Newsome, Voix des Arts

“His swell from piano to forte is seamless, and the performance so convincing you’d think Britten wrote Canticle II for him and Mobley rather than his partner, Peter Pears, and Kathleen Ferrier” – Jason Victor Serinus, San Francisco Classical Voice

“Reginald Mobley brings beautiful sensitivity to the son who gradually comes to terms with the idea of being sacrificed” – Jarrett Hoffman, Cleveland Classical

“[Mobley and Giebler] bring fervent drama to these roles and merge voices to celestial effect as God” – Donald Rosenberg, Gramophone

A delight in the friendships of one's youth, the pain of unrequited love, and the destruction, horror and futility of war, are themes that run through A Lad's Love, a release that brings together the profound beauty created by Britain's poets and composers during the turbulent years of the early 20th Century. Praised for his lovely tone and deep expressivity by the New York Times, American tenor Brian Giebler has established an impressive career singing virtuosic and eclectic repertoire with shine and clarity (Opera News). Whether performing Handels Semele with Harry Bicket and The English Concert or Stravinskys Threni with Franz Welser-Möst and The Cleveland Orchestra, "Brian Giebler use[s] his high-placed tenor with great skill (Opera Magazine)."
