Love can be boundless happiness and fulfillment, but also deep sadness and pain. Sometimes all at the same time, which doesn't necessarily make things any easier. But above all, love is one thing: mysterious, unfathomable and unpredictable. This is how Sergei Rachmaninov, at 20 years old and in the prime of life for great emotions, portrays it in a sonorous tone poem which - another mystery - is extremely rarely performed despite its great beauty. Unlike Peter Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 4, one of the most popular works of the Romantic period, a psychogram of a yearning soul turned into sound and a tried and tested acoustic drug for all the unhappy lovers in the world. The young Russian conductor Maxim Emelyanychev knows his way around the proverbial melancholy of his homeland and knows how great emotions must sound. Francis Poulenc proves that flirtations of any kind are always a touch more elegant in France in his showpiece for piano in a double bill. The keyboard duo Katia and Marielle Labèque, a legend with 20 fingers, work their magic and raise the pulse rate - just like love, by the way
