Gentle and haunting spirits from distant spheres meet in a surging world of dreams and lullabies in ‘The Girl and the Angel, a musical narrative’. This work interweaves a new story by bestselling author Cornelia Funke with expressive new compositions by Luna Pearl Woolf and familiar and popular songs by Irving Berlin, Lennon / McCartney, Jake Heggie, Engelbert Humperdinck, Gordon Getty and others.

Exquisite images from the award-winning creative studio Mirada visually shine the story. The Girl and the Angel was originally released in 2013 under the title Angel Heart with accompanying concerts in Los Angeles and New York’s Carnegie Hall, first released internationally in 2018, and now appears in a German-language version.
