‘Lead me to the faithful shore where love lasts forever…’ For the musical revolutionaries of the 19th century, love had the power to transform the world. Robert Schumann dreamed of writing symphonies that would rival Beethoven, but at the heart of his tempestuous Fourth Symphony is a whispered message to his beloved Clara. In France, meanwhile, Hector Berlioz forged a reputation as a wild-eyed rebel – yet the six glowing songs of Les nuits d’été tell a story of longing and loss, in music so tender that it almost hurts. With the radiant voice of Miah Persson and the raw energy of conductor Maxim Emelyanychev, the results should be ravishing.
