Debut single release featured in Spotify “New Classical Releases”
Helena Ricci’s debut single release of her own transcription of Rameau’s ethereal and moving "Le Rappel des Oiseaux” is featured on this week’s Spotify “New Classical Releases” playlist.
About this music, Helena says: "Le Rappel des Oiseaux" is dedicated to my grandparents who recently celebrated 60 years together. It's a recording I did for them honouring how they approach life with love, resilience, forgiveness and battle the storms of life together like the two birds in Rameau's delightful, sorrowful yet hopeful music. We're all apart from people we love these days, so this is a longing for the time when we can hug those we love.”
