Notes and Editorial Reviews
At the benefit concert Refuge for the Rising performed on October 9, 1999 in Leipzig's Nikolai Church, the Gewandhaus Orchestra and the Thomaner Chorus played in and for the benefit of the church that marks a decisive historical point in recent German history. The performance commemorated the tenth anniversary of the "peace prayers" and the "peaceful revolution" that began here with the decisive "Monday demonstration" of October 9, 1989, exactly one month before the fall of the Berlin Wall. An extensive documentation, Protest of Silence, reports on the development and background of this historically significant day.
