Product Details
Description
In just 99 bars of music, Arnold Schoenberg was able to portray the suffering and persecution of an entire population. The text for the cantata was written by Schoenberg himself and focuses on the Nazi reign of terror by portraying a scene in the Warsaw Ghetto. In its closing chorale, the narrator calls out ‘Shema Yisroel’ a Jewish statement of faith in what is a devastating emotional climax of the work.
