Album: Diaries of Hope
Artist: Zbigniew Preisner
Released: 2013
Description: From Preisner’s website: “Diaries of Hope is inspired by the diaries and poems of Polish children who were victims of the Holocaust.” It is an incredibly haunting and powerful piece of music, aptly fitting any writing that meets a similar subject matter. The prominent members of its cast are a string ensemble and Lisa Gerard, the vocalist utilized so often in music that aims to solicit a sorrowful emotion from the listener.
