Blessed Are the Hearts that Bend - "Cactus"

Written in three chapters and across two countries, “Cactus” by the UK based Blessed Are the Hearts that Bend is a deeply felt piece of neo-classical work that envelops the listener from the first few chords. Recorded with Italian cellist Belaqua Shua and violinist Susie Walsh, “Cactus” pours over with a type of restrained sentimentality that provokes deep introspection. Low cello drones, elegant violin lines and deeply resonant piano and ambient meditations mark this emotionally rich composition.
