Album information
Schumann’s Das Paradies und die Peri is a highly original form of a dramatic cantata for soloists, choir and orchestra, based on a tale from Lalla Rookh by Thomas Moore. The Peri is a creature from Persian Mythology. Expelled from Paradise the Peri tries to regain entrance by giving the gift that is most dear to heaven, the tear from the cheek of a repentant old sinner who has seen a child crying. Schumann had great success with this large scale dramatic work, which has a continuous flow of music, without recitatives and arias. No wonder Wagner liked it greatly.
This recording from 1981 features the best vocal soloists of the former DDR, the Leipzig Rundfunk-Sinfonie-Orchester and conductor Wolf-Dieter Hauschild: another treasure from the archives of Berlin Classics!

![Visnoviz: Violin Sonata, Klavierstücke
Eugenio Visnoviz (1906–1931) belongs to the poignant group of early twentieth-century composers whose promise was cut short by an untimely death.
Composer: Eugenio Visnoviz
Artists: Valentina Danelon (violin), Cristina Santin (piano)

Born in Italy at a moment of intense cultural transformation, Visnoviz grew up in an environment shaped by the late Romantic legacy and the emerging modernist currents that were redefining European music. Although his surviving output is small, it reveals a composer of striking sensitivity and technical awareness.
Written at the age of only 17 by Visnoviz, a fragile and tormented musician whose life would end just eight years later, probably by his own hand, the Sonata contains the seeds of genius. Large in scale, in four movements, permeated with a late Romantic spirit but with stylistic features reminiscent of Beethoven, Mendelssohn and especially Brahms (with some harmonic exploration, a legacy of the post-war period), the Sonata presents a language that is both lyrical and dramatic.
The program pairs the Sonata, with its vast proportions, with the light piano aphorisms of the Klavierstücke. Despite his pianistic expertise, Visnoviz the composer did not leave any large-scale works for his instrument, preferring to focus on its intimate and lyrical dimension. He condenses musical ideas into concise gestures, exploring contrasting moods, textures, and colors. The pieces frequently juxtapose delicate, introspective passages with more rhythmically driven or harmonically bold sections.
This new recording is a labor of love by the two musicians Valentina Danelon (violin) and Cristina Santin (piano) who, during their study time, discovered Visnoviz works in the Visnoviz Collection, held by the Tartini Conservatory in Trieste.
