Hadju, David
Live Of The Saints
When writer-producer David Hajdu was growing up, he was drawn to a mystical book on his mothers shelf entitled Lives of the Saints. For his new recording, which borrows the same title, Hajdu enlists an assemblage of first-tier composers and performers to tell the stories of ten remarkable people from history, all of whom happen to be women. Women who did extraordinary things but suffered in some ways for what did or what they believed.
