"Shema Yisrael" from "The Suffering of the Innocents" by Kiko Arguello

Описание

Charismatic Catholic leader Kiko Arguello's symphony "The Suffering of the Innocents", is billed as a "musical gift to the Jewish people." It imagines Mary, mother of Jesus, weeping alongside Jewish mothers at Auschwitz as they watch their children being slaughtered. The piece climaxes in the fourth movement with this rendition of Shema Yisrael. This performance took place on May 5, 2015 at the Domus Galilaeae, a conference center set near the Mount of Beatitudes in Israel, with a sweeping view of the Sea of Galilee behind the musicians. The performance was part of a conference organized by Kiko Arguello and his Catholic movement, the Neocatechumenal way, that brought together rabbis and priests, bishops and cardinals from around the world.
