<<The poems of Iacovos Kambanellis set to music by Mikis Theodorakis - sung 
in 
Hebrew, English and Greek. Includes speech by Simon Wiesenthal.  

We have just received this AMAZING recording.

In 1965, poet Iacovos Kambanellis, a prisoner in Mauthausen during World War 
II, wrote four poems on the subject, and asked his good friend, the noted 
composer, Mikis Theodortakis, to set them to music. Theodorakis, who, during 
the Nazi Occupation was sent to German and Italian prisons, created beautiful 
and haunting melodies to compliment Kambanellis's stirring poems.

The first recording of these compositions were originally made over 30 years 
ago in Greece by the now world famous Greek artist, Maria Farantour. In this 
new recording of "The Mauthausen Cantata", produced in 1995, each of the 
selections are sung in Hebrew (Elioar Moav  Vendiadis), English (Nadia 
Weinberg) and in Greek (Maria Fantouri). The last track of this Cd consists 
of a speech in German by Holocaust survivor, Simon Wiesenthal, a former 
prisoner at Mauthausen.

The booklet contains full translations in English, French and German. This is 
a unique and stirring recording, and is highly recommended.>>
