The extended DVD version of Christopher Nupen's award-winning film about freedom, survival and the extraordinary place of music in the Nazi concentration camps. (Covertext) Christopher Nupen's extraordinarily powerful film offers a rare and authoritative insight into how two centuries of assimilation ended in the almost ineffable horror of the Nazi death camps. ... this is profoundly moving and compulsive television. (The Observer) A poem written by a young girl who was sent to a concentration camp at Terezín gives the director Christopher Nupen the title for his new film. And it's a title that combines the two principal themes for this provocative music film for television; namely the remarkable contribution made by emancipated Jews to 19th-century German music and the consolation and inspiration that brings in dark times, such as the black night that fell upon the European Jewry after 1933. This release comes with a cornucopia of bonuses. All the music used in the film is played in full and there are four hours of interviews with the contributors, who were pared down to bite-sized pieces of television. And there's Evgeny Kissin playing the Andante from Brahms F minor Piano Sonata, suffused with the light craved for by that girl in Terezín. (BBC Music Magazine) Christopher Nupen's 60-minute documentary tackles one of history's greatest quandaries: how the longstanding harmony between the German and Jewish peoples, as expressed for instance in the German musical tradition, degenerated into the Holocaust. The role of Wagner's sulphurous anti-Semitism in this process is explored alongside the amazing courage shown by the survivors of the orchestra of inmates that played in Theresienstadt concentration camp. As the now 100-year old Alice Sommer Herz remembers: "The music took you closer to heaven." (classic fM)
