This fourth album produced by the ex-leader of The Police in 1993 marks Sting's return to a less emphatic style than that of his previous record (The Soul Cages) and foreshadows the two that followed (Mercury Falling and Brand New Day). From his passion for the harmonic sophistication of jazz to that for world music, everything that makes the charm of Sting's compositions is condensed on The Summonner's Tales. "If I Ever Lose Faith In You" dominates the record with its arrangements, and one of the themes, "Fields Of Gold", is, along with the early "If You Love Somebody Set Them Free", one of Sting's timeless hits. To such an extent that it made a comeback in 1999 in a masterful interpretation accompanied by the voices of the traditional Corsican group I Muvrini.
