Product Details
Description
apókryphos uses the German texts of exiled Jewish poets and excerpts from the biblical Apókrypha translated to English to explore the ideas of exile and estrangement. The texts along with Rands’ score of precise and lively instrumental detailing, highly personal lyricism, and vivid intensity of expression result in a profound meditation on the vulnerability of civilization in the face of monstrous evil. Although grounded in the Holocaust, apókryphos resonates with a sense of humanity that feels timeless. Despite the bleak subject matter, one is left with the sense of spiritual renewal rising like a phoenix from the ashes of unspeakable cruelty and destruction.
