Henk Neven (baritone), Hans Eijsackers (piano)
Onyx 4102
A delightful recital that effortlessly transcends the potential naffness of the title. Neven's melodies are every bit as persuasive, as idiomatic as his Lieder, finding great poetry in well-chosen songs by Faure and Debussy. The many facets of Schubert's fascination with all things aquatic come off equally well, with a dashing Schiffer and a haunting Gondelfahrer. Throughout, Eijsackers proves an insightful and gifted collaborator, and the recording team do the project proud
