Alastair Miles is internationally recognised as one of the world's leading basses, appearing regularly with acclaimed opera companies such as WNO, Glyndebourne, ENO and the Royal Opera, as well as with conductors such as Giulini, Harnoncourt, Muti, Rattle, Gergiev, Gardiner, Norrington, Davis and Dohnanyi.

On this new recording he explores some gems of the Lieder repertoire from Hugo Wolf and Johannes Brahms, ably accompanied by pianist Marie-Nöelle Kendall.

"Miles's oaken depth of tone and amplitude of line are impressive, and ultimately moving...This is not, perhaps, a disc to play straight through. But it's a nobly sung recital, confirming that the leading English operatic basso cantante is also a Lieder singer of intelligence and insight." (Gramophone, May 2014)
