Hirundo Maris has constantly explored new musical worlds and forms of expression since it was founded in 2009. They are now taking a completely different path with this new project for the label Fuga Libera. Under the direction of Arianna Savall and Petter Udland Johansen, who share a love of poetry and music, Hirundo Maris perform Schubert, Schumann, Brahms, Fauré, Debussy, Mompou, Toldrà, García Lorca, de Falla and Grieg, all of whom were so significant for this chamber music genre. 

"The love of poetry and music that we (Arianna Savall and Petter Udland Johansen) share is something that we invariably explore in all our projects with Hirundo Maris. It was very important for us to do this in our own personal way, and to bring to the music our own personal sound and love. That is why we arranged all of the music anew so that it would integrate with the musical universe of Hirundo Maris. You will hear a great love and respect for this music made by these fantastic composers in the spirit of Hirundo Maris, with music coming from the sunny Mediterranean and reaching to frosty Scandinavia."
