Das Paradies Und Die Peri • Requiem Für Mignon • Nachtlied

This recording is dedicated to the memory of Timothy Mason, cellist in the English Baroque Soloists and the Orchestre Révolutionnaire et Romantique for 22 years. COMPACT DISC 1 [48'18] COMPACT DISC 2 [69'40] Thomas Moore's poem has been modified where necessary to bring it into correspondence with the German text set by Schumann. Passages printed in italics have been newly translated from the German, either because they do not form part of Moore's original or are too removed from it to be taken over directly. Words or phrases enclosed in brackets are found in Moore's poem but do not form part of Schumann's text. The use of three dots enclosed in brackets, namely [...], indicates places where redundant portions of Moore's text have been omitted.
