Following the success of her Odradek releaseCaminante, award-winning Spanish cellist and composer Andrea Casarrubios returns withSeven, which features seven of her most recent chamber works, all in world-premiere recordings. Alongside works for solo cello or cello and piano, the recording features a Chicago Symphony Orchestra commission for the distinctive combination of clarinet, violin, viola and cello, and culminates in Casarrubios's Piano Quintet, a tender tribute to California's Central Coast.

Together, the mesmerising pieces on this album encompass a truly significant period in history: the years before and after 2020. At the heart of this collection liesSEVEN for solo cello, a piece that has become central to Casarrubios's life as a composer. The title alludes to the 7pm tribute offered to healthcare workers during lockdown. Through the music, she sought to explore the contradiction between solitude and community; that unique emotional complexity precipitated by the overwhelming challenges of 2020.SEVEN received its Carnegie Hall premiere in 2021 and has been performed in more than 36 countries since.

Other highlights of the album includeArmadura, inspired by artist Frida Kahlo;Silbo, reflecting the unique beauty of whistled languages; andMensajes del agua, which traces the intricate patterns found in unpolluted frozen water.

Praised by The New York Times for having 'traversed the palette of emotions' with 'gorgeous tone and an edge of-seat intensity' and described by the Diario de Menorca as an 'ideal performer' who offers 'elegance, virtuosity, and great expressive power', Andrea Casarrubios has played extensively as a soloist and chamber musician on the international stage. She is joined by a host of outstanding musicians to perform these intimate and heartfelt original works.
