Hands On Heart is an apt and emotional tribute, but also a poignant collection of mixed classical repertoire for cello and piano including a number of colourful encores such as Rimsky-Korsakov's ‘Flight of the Bumblebee' and personal favourites such as Faure's ‘Apres un Reve'.
The concert was recorded and mastered in high resolution 24-bit/96kHz digital audio by legendary classical engineer Tony Faulkner
