Voice of Hope is Camille Thomas’s second album for Deutsche Grammophon. The Franco-Belgian cellist’s program pays tribute to people’s ability to triumph over adversity, create harmony in place of chaos, and overcome hatred with love. The album presents the world-premiere recording of Fazil Say’s concerto Never Give Up, a response to terrorist attacks in Paris and Istanbul written for and premiered by Thomas, and also includes an exquisite selection of songs, prayers, and laments, Bruch’s Kol Nidrei and Ravel’s Kaddisch among them.
