Der Kuss (The Kiss) by Stephan Beneking, Hal Freedman, piano.
on: June 21, 2013, 06:04:15 PM
This is piece No.3 and is part of a CD album in process of production, entitled 'Holocaust Remembrance Suite.' The project has grown out of a collaboration between the German composer, Stephan Beneking, and myself. The proceeds will be donated to relevant charities.

This piece is dedicated to the thousands of Gay men who were brutalized and murdered by the Nazis in concentration camps. It is also dedicated to all those who are persecuted today.

Here you can access the You Tube video which I created to enhance the musical experience:



Stephan's beautifully written historical notes as well as the musical score, can be accessed on his Soundcloud site:
