Using the poetry of Nelly Sachs was an inspired idea, as she treats the subject in the only way it can be treated effectively--obliquely, focusing on details rather than the overall horror. But the three long movements, lasting more than an hour, don't maintain the same viewpoint; the music is unremittingly somber but lacking in distinctive elements. It winds up sounding like a soundtrack for a documentary, despite the eloquence of all the performers involved. Naxos's presentation (including poetry texts) and recording quality are excellent. --Leslie Gerber\n\nProduct Description\n\nLees\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 636943900222\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0636943900222\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eModel:\u003c\/b\u003e 43168-28258\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Audio CD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e New\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IDshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44522438852867,"sku":"54-MJM1-0TFN","price":10.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0030\/9765\/7390\/products\/71auXWdoEFL.jpg?v=1703428601","url":"https:\/\/idshop.ca\/en\/products\/symphony-4-memorial-candles","provider":"ID Shop.ca","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
