In Hymne à l’Amour, guitarist Carlotta Dalia invites listeners on a deeply moving journey through the many dimensions of love — from earthly passion to spiritual transcendence. With poetic sensitivity, expressive depth, and flawless technique, she turns the guitar into a voice of pure emotion.
The program unfolds as a carefully crafted narrative. The music of Niccolò Paganini reveals an unexpected intimacy: brilliant miniatures that shift between playful imagination and lyrical intensity, highlighting his unique connection to the guitar. In contrast, the preludes by Francisco Tárrega appear like fragments of memory — delicate, nostalgic, and deeply personal.
The emotional landscape deepens with Franz Schubert songs transcribed by Johann Kaspar Mertz, where the spirit of Romantic song is reborn through the guitar’s intimate voice. This is followed by Träumerei by Robert Schumann, capturing the fragile beauty of idealized love.
The journey culminates in Hymne à l’Amour, famously associated with Édith Piaf and reimagined in a masterful arrangement by Roland Dyens — a timeless declaration of love that transcends life itself.
