Press Reviews

Collectors Reviews

"A 'secular oratorio' was how Schumann, then 33, summarized Das Paradies und die Peri, his first major choral work, with its moral message of redemption through repentance conveyed not by the Scriptures but rather by the colourful oriental romance of Thomas Moore's Lalla Rookh...And it is Gardiner's own graphically vivid response that makes this new release so arresting an addition to the catalogue..."
