About
Héloïse Werner’s first album, Phrases, was received ecstatically. For her second, she wanted to create a programme with a cohesive narrative arc – a journey, but one that the listener can take in their own time and their own way. For it, she has assembled a group of musicians who both share in her concept but also bring to the project their own varied musical personalities to complement Héloïse’s own distinctive voice. Rightly described by Héloïse as ‘amazing people’, her collaborators – Colin Alexander, Julian Azkoul, Max Baillie, Kit Downes, Ruth Gibson and Marianne Schofield – stitch their individual contributions into close-ups in colours just as vibrant as Héloïse’s own.

Awards and reviews
August 2024
Performing her own work – there is surely no better interpreter – alongside a killer ensemble comprising (in different combinations) violin, viola, cello, double bass and hardanger fiddle...Werner and her collaborators are co-composers for an interlude that reappears in three guises throughout the album.
August 2024
jaw-dropping technical agility combined with an innate, instinctive musicality and boundless, breathless creativity.
6th July 2024
This is a record full of poise, curiosity and playfulness, the result of close listening and risk by all invovled. Werner and her colleagues make music that is as singular as it is striking.
