Anne Sofie von Otter explains that this album "reflects my sincere wish
to commemorate those who created music under conditions of
unthinkable misery and who so tragically lost their lives". On MusicWeb, Steve Arloff says "This
disc is an absolute must for anyone interested in sampling
music by those whose lives were cruelly cut short by a monstrous
ideology, and who would have made further hugely important
contributions to the music of the 20th century... This is my nomination for Disc of the Year without
reservation". As Robert A Moore puts it in American Record Guide: "Sometimes one is privileged to discover a recording that has as much merit for its humanitarianism as for its musical significance".
