Leave the beaten track, cross borders: Whether it is the pilgrim of the Middle Ages on his way to Santiago de Compostela or the romantic wanderer wandering through a dark and unfathomable Germany, the theme of hiking is timeless and universal. The artists have always been in search of elsewhere • "We are always in a different place in our thoughts. To wander in the distance! To discover what human nature is!" This is how Montaigne formulated it, and his statement seems to apply to one as well as the other; wandering seems to be a vital necessity for man • Through their works, the musicians seek to achieve what they seem to lack: the ideal lover (Schumann), the imagined homeland (Liszt), peace of mind (Schubert) ... The artists of Romanticism should elevate this eternal striving, this insatiable longing for the elsewhere, for the unknown both in music and in literature and philosophy to the ideal. Behind the superficial search lies the desire for the imperfect, a preference for what is unstable, for fear of what is constant. Driven by fever and inspired by dreams, the romantic wants to cross the immediately visible horizons• In Gustav Mahler's work, this tradition occupies a large place. He is well aware of Schubert's wandering instinct, and he feels the longing, this melancholy and sadness of the soul, this insatiable desire that is so typical of the romantic wanderer. It's an introspective hike. Like Schubert the sedentary, no composer has lowered this longing, this delusion from elsewhere into our hearts..• The hike continues. Journeys through the Europe of the nine Songs of Travel by the Englishman Ralph Vaughan Williams via Italy by Ildebrando Pizzetti to a completely different hike with the Frenchman Henri Duparc, where you stay on the spot. L'invitation au voyage (1870) is pure illusion, nothing moves, everything is frozen in a dream - invitation to a journey of thought into an imaginary land: "Everything there is vain order and beauty, peace and sensuality" (Baudelaire). from the accompanying text by Rodolphe Bruneau-Boulmer
