What does music have to say? If it appears to defy language, our perpetual race for meaning and our desire for narrative, it has been and remains, for many composers, a means of expressing themselves with an open heart, albeit in an implicitly affective manner. To pour out your heart without uttering a single sentence, to weep without shedding a single tear, to tremble with love or fear, to express your joys and sorrows, your obsessions and anxieties, your most secret aspirations and your most hidden desires... At least as far back as the romantic era, musicians have been accustomed to confiding in each other and sometimes even portraying themselves in their compositions. ‘The piano speaks instead of the poet’, Schumann tells us in his famous conclusion to the Kinderszenen. This is no game. It is about the artist’s sincerity, his need to be entirely himself in and through his creations. The fact that music can be given a completely different role, and a totally different ambition is not contradictory, but complementary.

"I have stopped counting how many times I had to talk about or have heard of the triangle relationship between Robert Schumann, Clara Schumann, and Johannes Brahms, or about Beethoven's "Immortal Beloved." Today is the time to talk about other love stories that had an equally great impact on the way these composers created their music. On this album you will hear seven composers who couldn't be themselves in their daily lives. The music they composed is a true haven where the notes free themselves from the words to reveal the essence of their feelings." (David Kadouch)
