I hope we get a chance to visit soon

Recorded live at the 2018 Aldeburgh Festival and released by arrangement with BBC Music, New Focus Recordings releases Michael Hersch's I hope we get a chance to visit soon. The work, a companion piece to his 2012 monodrama On the Threshold of Winter, revisits several themes Hersch has engaged with often over the past decade, terminal illness and loss.
