"This live recording was recorded in June 2004 as a tribute to the women of World War II. It features the premiere of a new composition by Joan Szymko, The Beauty of Your Dreams, based on the writings of Eleanor Roosevelt. Also included is the title piece, Cradle of Fire, an incredibly moving work made up of five folk songs arranged by Michael Isaacson to commemorate the Holocaust. Instrumentation includes piano, bass, harp, violin, viola, cello, and percussion."
