This epic period piece spans three generations of a Hungarian Jewish family as they try to gain acceptance in their homeland during the 1800s and 1900s. Maurice Jarre's original score, performed by the Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin, expresses love, sorrow and pride, from the romance of a soft piano to the power of a full, sweeping orchestra.
