“This sequence formed itself during the countless hazy hours I spent awake with two newborn sons. I felt lost within the constant interplay of overflowing joy and love with an unbearable desperation and loneliness. Those endless nights awake, my new life of which I had no understanding or certainty, were a kind of hell and, simultaneously, heaven. The programme ‘finds’ itself in Schumann’s Songs of Dawn: shimmering hope, glory just beyond the horizon.” – Cordelia Williams.

Williams finds astonishing beauty in these pieces that had me shaking my head in wonder. Consummate artistry…touching real greatness.‘Nightlight’, MusicWeb International, Recording of the Year
