"A harp tiptoes into the hall and starts a conversation with a few sultry violins.  Horns and percussion tumble in.  Complex changes in mood, texture, and tempo tell a dramatic story written by composer Sofia Kraevska.  Acting out the scene is the 105-piece Cleveland Orchestra.  Berestechko took Sofia a month to complete, but the music had inhabited her mind for years, since her visit to an enchanting monastery near her hometown of L'viv, Ukraine, site of a fierce battle in the mid-1600s."
