According to some sources, Schumann suffered hallucinations and heard voices when he wrote the overture for Lord Byron’s dramatic poem about Manfred, a literary character haunted by guilt, who calls on the powers to give him peace.

And there is indeed a special nerve and pain in the overture’s intensity and bewildered desperation – Schumann put his heart and soul into every note. The same artistic refusal to compromise is characteristic of Anders Eliasson’s music which, with its strong expression and its spiritual dimension, has captured international star violinist Janine Jansen to the point that she’s made the violin concerto Solitary Journey “her own”.

A spectrum of the whole human psyche is presented by Carl Nielsen in his second symphony, The Four Temperaments, with vibrant interpretations of the choleric, phlegmatic, melancholic and sanguine personalities. A musical journey through the hidden rooms of the soul, made at your own risk.
