    Wishing for him to come back to his family asap with the other 114

  • Orla Tromba says:

    I hope 1) he is still alive, 2) he is freed soon (along with the other hostages) and 3) this horror can end soon and he can make music again.

  • Silja says:

    Beautiful! I pray for him, may this horrible hostage-desaster be solved, it is so terrible and unfair!

  • Stella says:

    Thanks for sharing.

  • Chemblue says:

    God give him and others strength and courage and put peace in the hearts of the captors to let them go.

    This is so moving and full of passion. I have heard this piece so often but it’s never meant so much as it does today. God bless

    Hope he is alive.

      There is some person, presumebly cultivated, educated & interested in classical music, that objects to my hope.

    • Miko says:

      The one thumbs down in this thread of comments is helpfully proving that online radicalisation has shifted some presumably cultured minds into the territory of blind fanaticism.

  • DaveT says:

    Release him NOW. Every day that he and the other hostages are held captive prolongs the suffering for all. If Hamas cares one bit about its own people, to say nothing of the civilians that they are imprisoning, they will end this war immediately.
