Bacri / Ukrainian Festival Orchestra Music For My Love Celebrating The Life Of Someone CD

Here at last is the next installment of what Guy Rickards in Gramophone called "an enterprise quite unprecedented in modern composition- or recording." When Yodit Tekle was diagnosed with stomach cancer in late 2014, her partner Martin Anderson asked a few composer friends to write some music for strings to bring her comfort in her illness. To his surprise, almost everyone he asked generously agreed, and so the project snowballed: there are now over 100 composers who have now written or agreed to write for it- in an undertaking that is probably unique in the history of music. This second volume presents twelve more pieces- all in their first recordings, of course- in an initiative which, in effect, transforms love into something you can hear.
