Love Songs is a dialogue about love and it's reflections, created by four very close friends, the pianists Diana Ketler and Konstantin Lifschitz, violinist Andrej Bielow, and violist Razvan Popovici. These musicians journey through the subliminal passion, bucolic nostalgia, and gentle irony of Brahms' Liebeslieder-Walzer, as well as the intimacy and warmth of his songs Wir Wandelten and Wie Melodien zieht es mir. They continue with the exuberant admiration for the universe in Dvorak's Slavonic Dances, the ecstatic desire of Suk's Love Song, and, finally, the spiritual adoration of nature in Dvorak's Silent Woods and in the Spinning Room.
