Spotlight on Miranda Rutter's Bird Tunes

Bird Tunes is Miranda Rutter's exquisite new suite of folk tunes with birdsong at their core. It is both a love song to the intricacy and beauty of birdsong and a timely reminder of the dangers faced by migrating birds today.

"Bird Tunes is, very simply, utterly beautiful. Nature and music in perfect harmony."
