The Music of Kevin Puts
This album celebrates the dynamic partnership between composer Kevin Puts, conductor StĆ©phane DenĆØve, and the SLSO.

Silent Night ElegyĀ is drawn from Putsā acclaimed opera, which tells the story of the spontaneous ceasefires along the Western Front on the first Christmas Eve of World War I.Ā Virelai, a brief and celebratory fanfare, was inspired by Guillaume de Machaut, the 14th-century composer and poet.
