Background: This album from Hélène Grimaud reflects the close personal and musical relationship between Robert Schumann, his wife Clara, and their friend Johannes Brahms. Just as with Grimaud's recent Chopin-Rachmaninov recording, this new album explores the themes of love and transfiguration through music.

The album also marks Hélène Grimaud's debut collaboration with DG mezzo Anne Sofie von Otter, who joins her for songs by Clara Schumann. In addition to two settings of poems from Friedrich Rückert's great literary tribute to conjugal love, Liebesfrühling, this release includes 'Am Strande', one of the songs Clara composed as a Christmas gift for Robert in 1840.
