Leos Janacek On An Overgrown Path No.7 Good Night

SALES TEXT
Cellist Beatriz Blanco and pianist Federico Bosco follow the success of their first Odradek album with Of Love and War, a sumptuous programme of music by Nadia Boulanger, Richard Strauss, Debussy, Webern, Hindemith and Fauré, featuring mezzo-soprano Solenn’ Lavanant-Linke.

Of Love and War, partly inspired by Eduardo Galeano’s novel Days and Nights of Love and War, draws parallels between the isolation and pent-up passions of wartime and the experiences of the current pandemic. Much of this repertoire was composed around the time of the First World War, but also embraces broader themes of beginnings and endings, night and day, love and loss. 

Nadia Boulanger is celebrated as a teacher of great composers, but was a composer in her own right; her Three Pieces occupy a similar soundworld to that of Debussy, whose Cello Sonata is at the heart of the programme, and Fauré, whose song Les berceaux we hear in an arrangement for cello and piano. There are works by Webern that show us ‘before and after’ his early lessons with Schoenberg: the Zwei Stücke für Cello und Klavier of 1899, written when Webern was only 16, and the Drei Kleine Stücke, Op. 11 and Cello Sonata, both dating from 1914. The album discovers a softer side to Hindemith in his richly Romantic Three Pieces, Op. 8, and the whole recital is framed by glorious songs by Strauss and Debussy, performed by Solenn’ Lavanant-Linke.

Intro (Where Are You)

Romantic Classics is a heartfelt collection of timeless melodies that celebrate love, hope, and human spirit across centuries and cultures. From the sacred beauty of Ave Maria and the soaring devotion of You Raise Me Up, to the cinematic poignancy of Schindler’s List and the grandeur of Nessun Dorma, each piece carries deep emotional resonance. Beloved folk songs like Danny Boy and Santa Lucia stand beside masterworks of Bach, Vivaldi, and Pachelbel, weaving together threads of classical elegance, sacred reflection, and popular balladry. With Titanic and Hero bringing modern romantic drama, and Jerusalem and Love Changes Everything lifting the heart with anthem-like power, this album is both a tribute to eternal classics and an invitation to feel every shade of romance—tender, triumphant, and timeless.
