This moving song cycle offers an intimate insight into the birth of modern human rights in Europe. As a prosecutor at the Nuremberg trials, Edinburgh-born David Maxwell Fyfe cross-examined Goering and subsequently became a champion of human rights and the European Convention. The story is told in words from his letters and speeches, interwoven with choral settings of Rupert Brooke and James Logie Robertson, poetry that inspired him. Conceived by Tom Blackmore with original music by Sue Casson, this is a timely and thought-provoking reminder of the seeds of an era-defining movement.
