Comentários
Referência absoluta como intérprete do repertório barroco, nos últimos anos o maestro Jordi Savall expandiu seu trabalho com a música do século XIX. Gravou, por exemplo, as sinfonias de Beethoven, um registro celebrado pela crítica e pelo público. Agora volta-se a Schumann, com Das Paradies und die Peri, com Le Concert des Nations e La Capella Nacional de Catalunya. O oratório, inspirado em texto de Thomas Moore, nos fala de Peri, um anjo caído que busca redenção oferecendo a dádiva mais preciosa de cada reino da existência: uma gota de sangue de um guerreiro, um suspiro de um amante e uma lágrima de um pecador arrependido. Na leitura de Savall, a força dramática da peça de Schumann se revela por meio da clareza com que o maestro e seus músicos tratam as dinâmicas e buscam o equilíbrio entre vozes e tecido orquestral, permitindo que a música respire sem exageros e, por isso mesmo, de forma intensa. O resultado é uma realização sublime, que coloca a obra onde ela merece estar: entre as grandes criações corais-sinfônicas da história.
Jordi Savall’s latest recording of Robert Schumann’s Paradise und the Peri is a triumph of musical storytelling and interpretative depth. This oratorio, inspired by Thomas Moore’s Lalla Rookh, follows the Peri—a fallen angel—as she seeks redemption by offering the most precious gift from each realm of existence: a drop of blood from a warrior, a sigh from a lover, and a tear from a repentant sinner. Schumann’s lush, Romantic score weaves these episodes into a tapestry of emotional intensity, blending choral grandeur with intimate solo passages. Savall’s direction breathes new life into this rarely performed masterpiece. His meticulous attention to phrasing and dynamics reveals the work’s poetic subtleties, while the orchestral and choral forces under his baton deliver both power and delicacy. The soloists shine, capturing the Peri’s yearning and the narrative’s dramatic arcs with nuance. The recording’s clarity and balance allow Schumann’s intricate textures to resonate fully, from the celestial choruses to the tender, introspective arias. Savall’s ability to merge scholarly rigor with emotional authenticity makes this recording essential for connoisseurs and newcomers alike.
