"Plitmann's selection is carefully chosen for maximum variety of expression and instrumentation. All the featured composers write in a highly accessible style retaining a strong adherence to tonality and eschewing idiosyncratic vocal and instrumental effects." BBC Music Magazine, August 2012 ****
The grammy-award winning artist Hila Plitmann is known worldwide for her astonishing musicianship, light and beautiful voice, and the ability to perform challenging new works.
On this disc she brings together a very personal programme that draws on her familial roots in Jewish culture and song; from traditional folk music (Five Yiddish Songs), to contemporary compositions (Bridges of Love, Tehilim and I Never Saw Another Butterfly). The disc also features the 'Five Hebrew Love Songs', with poetry by Plitmann set to music by the composer Eric Whitacre (her husband).
