Carolyn Sampson/Joseph Middleton: Reason in Madness

Throughout history men have feared madwomen, burning them as witches, confining them in asylums and subjecting them to psychoanalysis - yet, they have also been fascinated, unable to resist fantasizing about them. For their new disc, Carolyn Sampson and Joseph Middleton have created a programme that explores the responses of a variety of composers to women whose stories have left them vulnerable and exposed. As a motto they have chosen an aphorism by Nietzsche: `There is always some madness in love, but there is also always some reason in madness'.
