About
The inspiration for this Album came about from Ruby Hughes’ first collaboration with the Manchester Collective in the spring of 2020. During the first Covid lockdown, they built the programme of this recital for the purpose of touring the UK and uplifting their audiences at a time when we were all being confronted by challenging notions of mortality and isolation. As artists, they asked themselves what music might attend to the prevailing concerns of this time. Their answers came in the form of this offering.

Reviews
**** Excellent album
“…The disc’s highlights … belong to those moments where soprano and quartet – the later featuring the impressive Manchester Collective guided by inspirational violinist Rakhi Singh – combine to produce moments of startling power, beauty and delicacy…”
Recording of the Month
“…End of my Days is a superbly performed, arranged and recorded collection which will bring pleasure, comfort and space for contemplation to many listeners. It’s an early candidate for my disc of the year.”
“… The sound engineers at BIS balance the voice and instruments sensibly so that the subtleties of both forces come through. Pair that with SACD surround sound and the resulting clarity makes us feel like we’re the only ones sitting in the audience. The song texts and translations are a welcome and meaningful addition to the top-notch performances which I’d recommend without reservation.”
