About
When in late 2014 Yodit Tekle was diagnosed with stomach cancer, her partner, Martin Anderson, who runs Toccata Classics, asked a couple of composer friends to write some music to bring her comfort in her illness. As her life slipped away, he had the idea that she could be remembered in music and so he began to commission other pieces for string orchestra in her memory. To his surprise, almost everyone he asked generously accepted, and so the project snowballed: there are now over 100 composers who have written or agreed to write for it – an undertaking unique in the history of music. This first volume presents the first eleven pieces in an initiative which, in effect, transforms love into something you can hear.

most pieces here speak powerfully enough to justify the back cover's claim that the project 'transforms love into something you can hear'. Some stretch far beyond their shortish span...You won't find icy perfection in these performances - here's gusto, generosity, and lots of heart: perfect music for anyone's love.

The performances are sensitively realised under Paul Mann’s firm direction. There well could be another eight or nine discs in this series; if anywhere near the quality of this first volume, they will be self-recommending. A really wonderful disc that I have played over and over.

A moving start to a project that memorialises personal loss in the most positive way – commissioning and showcasing some fine and varied new works in the start of what promises to be a long and rewarding series.
