We all know their names, we know their music, but so little is known about the queer lives they lived. Who was the man on Britten’s side? What was really going on at the ‘Schubertiaden’? To whom did Chopin dedicate one of his famous waltzes? Was Tchaikovsky really in love with his nephew? Who broke Francis Poulenc’s heart? How did the fierce lesbian Ethel Smyth make her mark in this male dominated world? Hidden Voices answers all these questions and gives you a rare insight into the hidden (love) lives of these celebrated musical geniuses. Hear carefully selected letters and other personal writings alongside their world-famous music. Expect secret lovers, scandalous affairs, melancholic homosexuals, one hell of a woman and the true inspiration behind some of the greatest works of classical music. In the words of Benjamin Britten: Tell me the truth about love! Hidden Voices does just that.
