Iida Antola’s debut album “The truth about love”, with Kirill Kozlovski on piano. The program consists of three song cycles composed during the Second World War: “Cabaret Songs” (1937-39) by Benjamin Britten, “5 Love Songs after Ricarda Huch” (1939) by Viktor Ullmann and “Chants de terre et de ciel” (1938) by Olivier Messiaen. The lives of all three composers were severely affected by the war: Britten was forced to spend most of the war in America and after returning to England applied for conscientious objector status to avoid conscription; Messiaen was drafted into the medical corps of the French army and spent a year in a Nazi prison camp; and Ullmann, with a Jewish background, was deported to the Theresienstadt concentration camp was exterminated in Auschwitz in 1942. Although the suppression of the war is palpable in these three song cycles, they are true ambassadors of love and hope. Despite the turbulent time in which these cycles were written, the common thread in all three is the love that gives the publication its name: “The Truth about Love”.
