Product Description
Music
to the performance of
the
Moscow State Yiddish Theater (GOSET) An
oyg far an oyg
("An Eye for an Eye") had been composed by theaters musical
director Lev
PULVER (1883 1970) in
1942.
The
production was one of the earliest, if not the first, artistic
incarnations of the theme of the Holocaust and the Jewish resistance
to the Nazis.
This
publication is based
on the autograph
manuscripts of the orchestral scores of two episodes from Act 3 of
the play,
realized and edited by Sergei PICHUGIN.
The editor hopes that the revival of the music to one of the most
mysterious and tragic performances of the GOSET will be viewed as a
modest tribute to the memory of the victims of the Holocaust and
World War II.
Introductory
text
to the publication,
written
by Sergei Pichugin, includes a short biography of the composer and a
description of An
Eye for an Eye.
