9-11 Feb. Daniele Gatti conducts Schumann's Das Paradies und die Peri with the S. Cecilia Orchestra and Chorus.
Classified as a secular oratorio, it is based on an episode in the oriental romance Lalla Rookh by the Irish poet and song writer Thomas Moore, published in 1817. It is a favourite of British conductor Simon Rattle who will become the music director of the London Symphony Orchestra at the end of 2017. S.
