"Spirit of Hope" by Israeli singer Shira Karmon and the Viennese pianist Paul Gulda presents songs of wisdom, peace and spirituality. "Rooted in our upbringing and family histories, with a view on centuries of life in German speaking Central Europe, we invite you to share the thinking and feelings that arose from a long and intense cultural relationship". Coexistence, mutual attraction or even symbiosis on one hand, conflict, even murderous hate on the other side: in approaching the lyrics and songs, one cannot but tune in and resonate with all the connotations that come with this subject. From Mozart’s Cantata in 1791 to the most recent compositions dating from 2018, the works were created under given circumstances, by certain artists - yet, the notions and ideas are pertinent universally. Pieces of Hope – Hopes for Peace. A peace that makes hopes and their fulfillment seem possible.
