When Love Speaks is a compilation album that features interpretations of William Shakespeare's sonnets - some spoken, some set to music - and excerpts from his plays by famous actors and musicians, released under EMI Classics in April 2002.

Joy Beresford Frye (then Joy Gelardi) had the original idea and together with Michael Kamen and Alan Rickman, co-produced the album. The launch took place at The Old Vic.

The title comes from a speech in Love's Labour's Lost – "And when love speaks, the voice of all the gods makes Heaven drowsy with the harmony" – which is, however, not on the album.
