Heras second album for Deutsche Grammophon is the deeply personal result of an existential confrontation of Hera's with the foundation of her beeing, resulting in her determination to embrace life: "As I contemplated death, I found my soul infused with the magnificence of life. A profound sense of gratitude began to fill my soul." Presenting operatic favourites by Massenet ("Meditation"), Delibes ("Flower Duet" w/ Emily D'Angelo), Humperdinck ("Abends wenn ich schlafen geh") side by side with contemporary works by Luke Howard, Cecilia Livingston, Hyowon Woo and Bernat Vivancos.
