Out of Darkness • Naxos 2014

In Out of Darkness, Jake Heggie and Gene Scheer accomplish something remarkable. They convey the vastness of the Holocaust’s scope through emotionally rich portraits of those caught in its grasp, without reducing them to caricatures of martyrdom. The three chapters of this work relate stories that offer compelling musical witness to survival in the face of unimaginable adversity.

Featuring Caitlin Lynch, Sarah Larsen, Morgan Smith, Zart Domburian-Eby, Laura DeLuca, Mikhail Shmidt, Walter Gray, Jonathan Green, and Craig Sheppard.
