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.
