A song of good and evil

Philippe Sands’ A Song of Good and Evil offers new insights into the conflict and connections between three men at the heart of the Nuremberg trial – Cambridge academic Hersch Lauterpacht, Polish prosecutor Raphael Lemkin, and Hitler’s lawyer Hans Frank – who had a shared passion for music.

A personal exploration of the origins of modern justice and the fate of individuals and groups, in images, narrative and excerpts of music by Bach, Beethoven, Rachmaninov, Misraki and Leonard Cohen, directed by Nina Brazier and performed by acclaimed bass-baritone Laurent Naouri as well as renowned jazz pianist Guillaume deChassy. The renowned German actress Katja Riemann, who celebrates her London debut this evening, is the co-narrator with Philippe Sands.
