We are now at a remove of three generations from World War II and are still discovering new facts, still confronted with new insights, still finding new testimonials from those times. In a certain sense, this album also belongs to the category of recently discovered testimonials from the dark years between 1933 and 1945. Everywhere freedom of speech was restricted, and not only in Europe. Moreover, several generations of Jewish composers and performing musicians seemed simply to have disappeared. Not until a quarter of a century after the war did people start to ‘discover’, little by little, just how much music had been lost through the war. Yet today, unknown compositi- ons from those years are regularly discovered, and works thought to have been lost are found again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe music performed on this album is by Jewish composers whose lives were destroyed in World War II by persecution, murder or exile. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e----\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"After The Darkness is a project that lies close to our hearts. It is a privilege to let the music of these composers be heard and to create a lasting testament so their voices will never be forgotten. The title of this album refers to the book by Auschwitz survivor Elie Wiesel, After the Darkness: Reflections on the Holocaust. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eIt was an exciting challenge to choose the music for our recording from all the wonderful repertoire we have been playing for years and continue to discover. Whilst searching through the catalogue of the Nederlands Muziek Instituut, we came upon the one movement Trio à cordes by Dick Kattenburg. Seeing the original manuscript made a big impression on us: the neat handwriting contrasting with crossings out and corrections, a half-page colour drawing of himself and his friends playing the string trio together and comic doodles scribbled in the margins. Suddenly this was not just a distant, unknown composer, but a man with a personality who clearly had a sense of humour.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCollaborating with the Leo Smit Stichting and Eltjo de Lange was a very special experience, deciphering the manuscripts together to create a version for Donemus to publish, so that this trio will be accessible to everyone. Through this album it is our sincere hope that this wonderful music shall live on After the Darkness.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e- Justyna, Julia \u0026amp; Miriam\u003cbr\u003eThe Hague String Trio\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cobra Records","offers":[{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739249389892,"sku":"COBRA0065-7","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56739249422660,"sku":"COBRA0065-9","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56739249455428,"sku":"COBRA0065-10","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739249488196,"sku":"COBRA0065-14","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 128 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739249520964,"sku":"COBRA0065-15","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 256 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739249553732,"sku":"COBRA0065-16","price":29.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56739249586500,"sku":"COBRA0065-17","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 128 \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56739249619268,"sku":"COBRA0065-18","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 256 \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56739249652036,"sku":"COBRA0065-19","price":27.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DXD 24 Bit \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739249684804,"sku":"COBRA0065-22","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DXD 24 Bit \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56739249717572,"sku":"COBRA0065-23","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Binaural","offer_id":56739249750340,"sku":"COBRA0065-24","price":24.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 128 \/ 2ch Binaural","offer_id":56739249783108,"sku":"COBRA0065-25","price":26.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 256 \/ 2ch Binaural","offer_id":56739249815876,"sku":"COBRA0065-26","price":30.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 2ch Binaural","offer_id":56739249848644,"sku":"COBRA0065-49","price":21.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 2ch Binaural","offer_id":56739249881412,"sku":"COBRA0065-50","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":57310427382084,"sku":"COBRA0065-6","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57337485066564,"sku":"COBRA0065S1417","price":27.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 128 \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57337485099332,"sku":"COBRA0065S1517","price":29.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 256 \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57337485132100,"sku":"COBRA0065S1617","price":33.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 2ch Binaural","offer_id":57337485164868,"sku":"COBRA0065S1424","price":24.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 128 \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 2ch Binaural","offer_id":57337485197636,"sku":"COBRA0065S1525","price":26.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 256 \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 2ch Binaural","offer_id":57337485230404,"sku":"COBRA0065S1626","price":30.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround \u0026 2ch Binaural","offer_id":57337485263172,"sku":"COBRA0065S141724","price":30.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 128 \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround \u0026 2ch Binaural","offer_id":57337485295940,"sku":"COBRA0065S151825","price":32.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 256 \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround \u0026 2ch Binaural","offer_id":57337485328708,"sku":"COBRA0065S161926","price":36.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/7900\/2436\/files\/COBRA0065-1_1230db92-d0d4-4eb2-b652-23c3cae0eccd.jpg?v=1790517610","url":"https:\/\/www.nativedsd.com\/products\/cobra0065-after-the-darkness","provider":"NativeDSD Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
