Martin Romberg’s Symphony of Saints stands as a radiant homage to the Northern Saints – Columba, Aidan, and Cuthbert – whose lives shaped the spiritual fabric of early Northumbria. Written with a deep sense of reverence and vision, the symphony draws on Celtic Christian tradition, its glowing orchestral textures evoking the austere beauty of the Holy Island of Iona. Commissioned and inspired by personal devotion, this album is completed by Romberg’s Sacred Songs, written for soprano Joanne Lunn, setting luminous texts by Scottish poet Kenneth Steven. Lunn’s artistry, together with the Orchestra of the Swan under Andrew Griffiths, brings to life a cycle of profound intimacy and timeless lyricism. This recording is not only a testament to friendship and faith but also to music’s power to embody love everlasting.
