Summary
Edward Gardner conducts the London Philharmonic Orchestra, soloists and choir in Schumann’s secular oratorio Das Paradies und die Peri at the Royal Festival Hall.
Why it's fantastic
Schumann turned to Persian mythology for this lush, large-scale drama about a fallen angel seeking reentry into heaven through a series of earthly offerings. The score flows like a vivid sequence of technicolour postcards, offering a softer, more lyrical alternative to the heavy operatic traditions of the nineteenth century.
