"One CANNOT write about Auschwitz. One MUST write—write and write—about Auschwitz and the Holocaust. It seems that when we are forced to walk that corridor between Life and Death, sources of creativity become readily available, and Life is compelled to express itself."
—Gershon Kingsley describing Voices from the Shadow, his musical settings of poetry written by concentration camp prisoners
Reviews and Recognitions:
"The soloists are all superb in all respects, especially in the dramatic intensity they convey through their mastery of the languages. (The Yiddish is just wonderful.) I can't imagine anyone who's sung these songs with such understanding not being changed for life.... the Voices must be heard." —Philip Greenfield, American Record Guide
"...a moving affirmation of enduring human values, of love and hope, in the face of horrors which can never be adequately imagined....Voices from the Shadow deserves to find many listeners." —Glyn Pursglove, MusicWeb.uk.net
"...plenty of musical inspiration and emotional sincerity..." —Ken Smith, Gramophone
