Paradise Lost

Under the collective title Paradise Lost they bring a triptych of songs, arranged according to the structure of John Milton's poem of the same name. The blind poet published the work in 1663. The story of the expulsion of Adam and Eve from paradise has a shocking topicality in this time of war. But: no Paradise Lost without Paradise Regained , that was not only Milton's opinion in 1667.
