Album Notes & Community Reviews

Released specifically to coincide with Valentine's Day, this exceptionally brief conceptual project was recorded live in the studio with the full thirty-piece Brunel Ensemble orchestra. Neil Hannon's soaring croon delivers highly dramatic, sweeping romanticism that perfectly complements the opulent, cinematic string arrangements.
