    這通往自由之路的原聲大碟,記錄了音樂如何從法國大革命到鐵幕政權垮台所產生的影響力。沒有其他媒介像音樂一樣擁有推動力,安慰和鼓勵的作用。自法國大革命以來,或甚在更早之前,社會動盪與政治歌曲已並駕齊驅。音樂成為動員的工具。這是理想的體現,也是對美好生活的期盼。它激勵了被壓迫者,推動了抗爭,並燃起了革命者的火種。一連兩集的紀錄片《自由之歌》將從滿有希望的人﹑叛逆者﹑異見人士和被壓迫者所創作的音樂追溯其起源。這是第一次在完整的歷史背景下,探討自由和抗議所發出的聲音,這不僅是60年代和民權運動的縮影,其敘事還概括了從18世紀延伸到了今天的抗爭。紀錄片上集的內容涵蓋了由法國大革命的頌歌,到工人運動以及對納粹政權的抵抗。下集則從民權運動的頌歌和反對種族隔離的鬥爭,到性自由與兩性平權的吶喊中作出回應。

    The Soundtrack to Liberty – From the French Revolution to fall of the Iron Curtain. Music can move, comfort and encourage like no other medium. Social upheaval and political songs have marched hand in hand since the French Revolution, probably even before then. Music is a tool for mobilisation. It is the embodiment of the ideals and the hope for a better life. It galvanises the oppressed, spurs on the resistance and fires on the revolutionaries. The two part documentary Sound of Freedom goes back to the roots of this music of hope, rebellion, of the mavericks and the oppressed. This is the first time the sound of freedom and protest is being considered in its full historical context; not just within the microcosm of the Sixties and the civil rights movement, but with the narrative arc stretching from the 18th century to the present day. Part I: From the chansons of the French Revolution to the labour movement and the resistance against the Nazi Regime / Part II: From the hymns of the civil rights movement and the fight against apartheid to the call for sexual freedom and equality
