Abstract:
A television film by Christopher Nupen and his Allegro Films team which investigates the fruitful but complex relationship between the Jews and German music. The title, We Want the Light!, is taken from a poem by a 12-year-old girl, Eva Pickova, written in the Theresienstadt concentration camp. Her words also provide the climax of the film - in a setting for two choruses and orchestra by the emigé composer Franz Waxman, in his work The Song of Terezin. The interviewees are Evgeny Kissin, Vladimir Ashkenazy, Zubin Mehta, Itzhak Perlman, Pinchas Zukerman, Toby Perlman, Michael Haas, Elyakim Ha̷etzni, Norman Lebrecht, Margaret Brearley, Paul Lawrence Rose, Leon Botstein, Daniel Barenboim, Yirmiyahu Yovel, Uri Toeplitz, Anita Lasker-Wallfisch, Jaques Stroumsa and Alice Sommer Herz.
