Your Cart is Empty
In an unexpected and delightful moment, rock legend Iggy Pop recently opened his Sunday morning show on BBC Radio 6 with a track from our latest release with Héloïse Werner, Close-Ups. His chosen piece was Barbara Strozzi’s “Che si può fare,” arranged by Richard Birchall and performed by the critically acclaimed soprano and her ensemble.
Known for his wide-ranging musical taste, the godfather of Punk Rock Iggy Pop is no stranger to mixing genres, but even we were surprised to hear the gentle strains of Strozzi’s 17th-century composition gracing his iconic playlist. We were also suprised to hear about how he first became aware of this recording - but that's another story!
Thank you, Iggy and the Producers at BBC Radio 6 for showcasing Close-Ups.

Héloïse Werner’s first album, Phrases, was received ecstatically. For her second, she wanted to create a programme with a cohesive narrative arc – a journey, but one that the listener can take in their own time and their own way. For it, she has assembled a group of musicians who both share in her concept but also bring to the project their own varied musical personalities to complement Héloïse’s own distinctive voice.
