Music For My Love
is (we think) the first effort in classical music to formulate a public
commemoration of lost love – a kind of Taj Mahal in sound. When Martin
lost Yodit to stomach cancer last year, he turned to his composer
friends to ask for pieces in her memory. The response went beyond
anything he had imagined: almost everyone said yes. And the project has
kept expanding (and is still growing): there are now over 100 composers
involved. The eleven whose music features on Volume One include some of
the best-known names among contemporary composers: Brahms (arr.
Söderlind), Maddalena Casulana (arr. Colin Matthews), Brett Dean, Steve
Elcock, Andrew Ford, Robin Holloway, Mihkel Kerem, Deep Purple’s Jon
Lord (arr. Paul Mann), John Pickard, Poul Ruders and Ragnar Söderlind.
