A haunting performance of The Ballad of Mauthausen.
JW3 presents international Yiddish folk singer Niki Jacobs’ beautiful and haunting version of ‘The Ballad of Mauthausen’, originally a collaboration between poet Iakovos Kambanellis, a survivor of Kamp Mauthausen and composer Mikis Theodorakis, banned for activism against social injustice.
Using a Yiddish translation of the original Greek, this song-cycle connects the pre and post-war lives of all those affected by the tragedy of the Holocaust. With Ruud Breuls (Trumpet), Ro Krauss (Viola), Emile Visser (Cello) and Peter van Os (Accordion).
The JW3 music programme has been kindly sponsored by The Dorset Foundation in memory of Harry Weinrebe.
