Classical Music For Love - Chopin, Brahms, Debussy

Valentine’s Day is about more than roses and candles. It is about quiet connection, shared glances, and emotions that words sometimes cannot fully express. This collection of classical music captures that feeling with tenderness and depth.

Chopin’s piano speaks like a love letter, Brahms wraps the heart in warmth and devotion, and Debussy adds a soft, dreamlike glow that feels almost weightless. Together, their music creates the perfect atmosphere for a romantic evening, a candlelit dinner, or a peaceful moment with someone special.

Let these timeless melodies turn Valentine’s Day into something intimate, beautiful, and unforgettable 🤍🌹

Georges Bizet: Symphony in C major | Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin & François Leleux

Georges Bizet’s Symphony in C major is now regarded as one of the most remarkable early achievements in classical music. Born in 1838, Bizet was just seventeen years old when he composed the work in 1855 while studying at the Paris Conservatoire. He would later gain international fame as the composer of the opera Carmen. Despite its brilliance, the symphony remained unpublished during his lifetime and lay undiscovered for more than eighty years.

After several stops along the way, the manuscript of the symphony ended up back at the Paris Conservatoire in 1933. There, Austrian conductor Felix Weingartner (1863–1942) learned about it and conducted the symphony's premiere in Basel in 1935. In the video, the work is performed by the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin under the baton of François Leleux. The concert took place on July 12, 2025, as part of the Kissinger Sommer music festival in Bad Kissingen.

(00:00) I. Allegro vivo
(10:36) II. Andante. Adagio
(19:12) III. Allegro vivace
(24:52) IV. Finale. Allegro vivace

The mixture of youthful energy and compositional maturity makes the work especially fascinating. Although the influence of his teacher Charles Gounod (1818–1893) is clearly recognizable, Bizet is clearly developing his own style, characterized by dance-like elegance, clear structures and tonal transparency. The woodwinds — especially the oboe in the lyrical Adagio — repeatedly come to the forefront as soloists, lending the music a chamber music-like clarity that gives the work a certain lightness.

Each of the four movements unfolds within its own distinct tonal character. The Allegro vivo opens the symphony with energetic, sparkling themes that immediately reveal Bizet’s gift for melody. In the Adagio, the oboe takes on an almost soloistic role, shaping a graceful and lyrical line. The Scherzo stands out for its elegance and rhythmic vitality, with trio sections that suggest a lighthearted dance. In the finale, Bizet gathers the work’s brilliance into a radiant conclusion whose freshness recalls the early music of Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy (1809–1847).

François Leleux is a French conductor and oboist with an active international career. Born in Croix in 1971, he studied oboe at the conservatories of Roubaix and Paris. At eighteen, he was appointed principal oboist of the Opéra de Paris (Bastille). He has since appeared worldwide as a soloist, conductor, and chamber musician. As a guest conductor, he has worked with ensembles such as the Bamberg Symphony, the Dresden Philharmonic, the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra and the Orchestre Métropolitain de Montréal.

The German Symphony Orchestra Berlin was founded in 1946 as the RIAS Symphony Orchestra and soon established itself as a leading ensemble for both classical and contemporary repertoire. Renamed the Radio Symphony Orchestra Berlin in 1956, it has carried its current name since 1993. Its principal conductors have included Ferenc Fricsay, Lorin Maazel, Riccardo Chailly, Vladimir Ashkenazy, Kent Nagano and Robin Ticciati. Kazuki Yamada is set to assume the role of artistic director in autumn 2026.

The 7 Types of Love Explained by the Ancient Greeks

Dear Classical Wisdom Reader,

You are cordially invited to join our mental, virtual symposium, dear reader. Feel free to don your finest robes (ideally purple), pour a libatious drop (mixed obviously with the appropriate amount of water), and find a thinking couch on which you can recline. 

We are going to recreate Plato’s famed Symposium, just in time to celebrate the 3rd-century Roman saint who secretly married Christian couples during the Roman Empire. (Don’t you just love how everyone connects Valentine’s day to the Roman Empire? Oh wait...)

This week we’ll delve into that most powerful of emotions, feelings, actions and ask what exactly is it? How can we understand this essential and yet nebulous thing, a word we use everyday, but certainly not always in the same way: LOVE.

Fascinatingly, the ancient Greeks had about 30 different words for love... For a quick recap of those who love to delve into love (and who have the love of words), let us turn to Ben Potter:

EROS

Eros, is what we would most easily recognise as February 14^th style love. Though it was possible for eros (named after the Greek equivalent of the Roman’s Cupid) to be a part of a holistic, romantic, spiritual and beautiful love between two twinned souls, it could not exist in isolation from (usually very strong) sexual desire. 

PRAGMA

Even if eros is the most common type of love to initiate a romantic relationship, many would agree with the Greeks’ assertion that pragma is what sustains one. Pragma was a love not of the loins, nor the heart, but of the head. It was the foundation block that we can recognise in the most successful of long-term relationships; a willingness for give-and-take, a tolerance, a mutual-understanding and, of course, a certain... pragmatism. 

PHILIA

Philia (despite being a modern English suffix often denoting sexual desire) was what we would refer to as a platonic love shared between friends, comrades and even the community at large. The point of philia was not that it was less deep or less important than eros, quite the reverse; it was a love so special that one did not desire any sexual gratification out of it. 

The Farewell of Telemachus and Eucharis, 1818. Artist: David, Jacques Louis (1748-1825)

STORGE

Meanwhile, love between family members, though in most respects similar to philia, was often classified separately as storge (pronounced store-gay) and assumed an element of instinctual, rather than acquired, affection.

AGAPE

Agape represented a selfless and universal love that could be felt for strangers or wider society. It was a love that required no acknowledgement or reward; it was a desire to do good, or see good done, to one’s fellow creatures. C.S. Lewis considered agape to be the purest and best of all types of love, being the optimum form for a good Christian to aspire to.

LUDUS

Ludus was a playful, free-spirited frivolousness; an almost child-like joy of easy-going and uninhibited fun – the easy bonhomie of when you’re had exactly the perfect amount to drink!

PHILAUTIA

Much like eros, philautia was a double-edged kind of love; more specifically it was a double-edged kind of self-love. In true Aristotelian fashion, philautia was considered best when practiced in moderation. The story of Narcissus, the beautiful boy who fell in love with his own reflection and drowned/starved as a consequence, is a cautionary tale of this love’s destructive power. 

However, for the plus side of what seems like an inherently selfish pursuit, we can again turn to Aristotle who said in his Ethics that “All friendly feelings for others are an extension of a man’s feeling for himself. A man is his own best friend”. Here, Aristotle was defending the virtues of philautia against its detractors with what can be boiled down to a rather trite, but no less true for that, maxim: 

“you must love yourself before you can love others”.

So there we have some, but by no means all, the language the Greeks used to express love… 

~

But dear reader, we are not in the habit of simply reading the ancients, but in engaging with their ideas (something which we have written about earlier this week),

So I’d like to turn it to you…

What is love? Do these terms still hold up or do we need new ones to reflect our changing societal norms? 

And what of the root causes? Where does love originally come from?

La puerta entreabierta

“La puerta entreabierta donde el amor aprende a entrar” En algunos pueblos del Levante árabe, especialmente en zonas rurales del Líbano, Siria y Palestina, sobrevive una costumbre cargada de simbolismo y ternura: cuando en la casa hay hijas solteras, al caer la tarde la familia deja la puerta apenas entreabierta. No es descuido. Es un […]
