Iran's cultural center in Berlin has released a CD-collection of Mowlavi's Masnavi, crooned by the late German Iranologist, Annemarie Schimmel.
Accompanied by traditional Persian music and gentle oriental melodies, Annemarie Schimmel's voice was recorded in the German city of Koln.
Annemarie Schimmel, (April 7, 1922 - January 26, 2003) was an eminent and highly influential German Iranologist and scholar. Her extensive works on Islam and Sufism have focused on the various ways in which the cultural heritage of eastern and western mysticism has come together.
Her efforts to provide the West with a deeper perspective on Iran's mystic classic literature are particularly significant.
An unparalleled specialist on Islamic mysticism, professor Schimmel published some 80 books, held five academic degrees, won twenty-six awards and lectured at a wide variety of prestigious universities, including Harvard, Bonn, London and Ankara.
She was fluent in ten languages, including Arabic, Persian, Turkish, Urdu and Dari.
