Born from the artistic and personal partnership of soprano and pianist, the album brings together works by Schumann and Brahms — repertoire deeply rooted in the tradition of the German Lied and Romantic art song.

The program opens with the complete cycle Frauenliebe und Leben, Op. 42, by Schumann: eight songs that trace the journey of love, loss and the passage of time. The Arabeske, Op. 18, by the same composer, offers a moment of contemplation between the two worlds. The album is completed, in a more introspective vein, by works of Brahms: Liebestreu, Immer leiser wird mein Schlummer, Serenade, O wüßt ich doch den Weg zurück, Die Mainacht and Von ewiger Liebe.
