Roxanna Panufnik’s Love Songs & Lullabies, a project four years in the making, presents an ambitious and richly varied collection across eleven tracks. The album showcases an exceptional roster of collaborators, featuring notable highlights such as soprano Mary Bevan and the Brodsky Quartet on the Warsaw Uprising-inspired "My Man," the emotionally charged "When I Wake Up" from her 2022 opera Dalia, and the genre-blending "Sleep, Jesus, Sleep," which unites Ukrainian soprano Inna Husieva, the Soul Sanctuary Gospel Choir, and Afghan tabla player Sulaiman Haqpana. Incorporating piano, trombone, percussion, guitar, and electronica, Panufnik masterfully constructs a deeply evocative and diverse musical landscape.
