Composers from Theresienstadt 1941-1945 : Krása: Brundibár (Children's Opera in two acts)
Czech composer Hans Krása wrote the children's opera Brundibar before his World War II incarceration in the Theresienstadt concentration camp. The opera not only became a big hit in the camp, but its theme of good against seemingly insurmountable evil served to reassure the doomed prisoners. This essential, lovingly produced recording is the first authentic and complete version, in the original Czech. --David Vernier
