Diaries Of Hope

'Diaries of Hope' is inspired by the diaries and poems of Polish children who were victims of the Holocaust. Preisner's major new five-movement work features Lisa Gerrard in the principal vocal role and boy soprano Archie Buchanan in settings of two chamber songs, with the Warsaw Philharmonic Chamber Orchestra and Crouch End Festival Chorus. This is the first time that Lisa Gerrard has collaborated with Preisner. She is best known for her collaboration with Brendan Perry in Dead Can Dance and for her vocals on several major film scores.
