My friends who sing in the Choir Gaudium Cantorum invited me for their performance in an abandonded synagogue. It was a very special evening - the setting made this concert a very unique experience. They performed Sephardic songs and a Samuel Barber´s Adagio op. 11 - a very beautiful and soothing music.
What made the biggest impression on me was however a young Czech composer´s composition: Jan Šikl - Prayer for Raisel. He used in his composition the authentic voice of a thirteen old girl Raisel Melzak who survived holocaust and was recorded in 1946 in a childrens home in France.
Extraordinary!
