tutta interiore

Italian to English Art/Literary Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting review for new album of a world-renowned concert pianist
La disperazione amorosa, tutta interiore; è il dolore contenuto, perfettamente celato all’esterno, di una donna giapponese. Attraverso una reiterazione minimalista dei frammenti musicali, la tensione cresce fino a sfociare in una esplosione struggente e liberatoria.

hidden within

I think the sense is more that the pain is kept to herself, that it is not shown to the outside world, rather than it being born of solitude. It may be profound, it may be created from solitude, but the point is that it isn't shared with others.
Example sentence:

Amorous desperation, hidden within: this is the restrained pain, perfectly concealed from the outside world, of a Japanese woman.

entirely profound (+ restructure)

"An amorous and entirely profound desperation;..."

This may not be a literal way of translating this, but it is an idea meant to bring out the sense of the whole phrase. I think "Profound" has enough of a connection to the interior/internal/innermost ideas to still give the correct meaning.

Anyway, it is just an idea.
Example sentence:

"The deep love of the protagonist gives way to even more PROFOUND DESPERATION."

"This depth seems to express something ENTIRELY PROFOUND about our individuality and our innateness."
