Listen. It is here is a bold declaration of intent from a compelling new voice in British song. Edward Picton-Turbervill’s music – fresh, distinctive and unapologetically approachable – draws together themes of love and mysticism in settings of poets as diverse as Hildegard of Bingen, Rilke, Selima Hill and Harold Pinter.

Fruit of a two-year burst of creative energy after the composer’s return to music, the songs balance emotional immediacy with finely crafted writing for voice and piano. Performed by some of the UK’s most exciting singers, this album announces a striking arrival: a composer writing with sincerity, stylistic clarity, and a clear belief in song’s enduring power to move, to comfort and to connect.
