L’Amore è Poesia (‘love is poetry’) is a song cycle for soprano and orchestra, built around four vocalises and an orchestral interlude. The pieces are written in a very lush romantic style, both lyrical in expression and epic in scale. At times notably nostalgic, sometimes opulent but never cloying. The soaring melodies are clearly a nod to the likes of Erich Wolfgang Korngold and Max Steiner, whose film music from the golden era of Hollywood has always been an inspiration. This world premiere recording has been a long time in the making and we feel very fortunate to have received the generous support of so many incredibly talented people along the way: soprano Elena Moșuc is performing under the direction of conductor John Scott and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.

The recording took place at the legendary Abbey Road Studios in London.
