IN ENGLISH VIA .......PC DIGITAL CONCERT HALL.. THE BERLIN PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA. SIR SIMON RATTLE ROBERT SCHUMANN THE PARADISE AND PERI.

Speaking about this rarely heard Schumann oratorio earlier in the week, Simon Rattle warned that "to our very puritanical, middle-European ears, people think this is simply too beautiful, the dissonances are too extraordinary. People have a problem with ecstatic music".

And Schumann biographer Robert Haven Schauffler wrote in 1945 that it was “too consistently sweet. After an evening of it you feel as if you had taken a bath in liquid honey.”
