"I love you more than anything." Familiar love songs echo in our libraries as the Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra (HPO) Horn Quartet surrenders to the charms of romance.
In the greyness of November, passions flare and emotions heat up as the HPO Horn Quartet plunges into the intoxication of love and the yearning for romance. Instead of overwhelming with a flamethrower, we get into the mood with beloved romances.
“The power of love is invincible." – Eino Leino
