Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes is an album by pianist George Winston with narration by actress Liv Ullmann, released in 1995. Winston's guitar solos also appear apart from the narration, which follows the true story of Sadako Sasaki, a victim of Hiroshima bombing. Suffering from radiation-induced leukemia, Sadako spent her time in a hospital folding origami paper cranes hoping to make a thousand of them and thereby receiving a wish, one she would use to heal and live.
All songs by George Winston unless otherwise noted.
