"Old Klezmer Music," by Leon Zernitsky
Many composers—Jewish or not—have incorporated Hebraic themes and styles into their music, and whether religious or secular in spirit, their approach to the material displays a wonderful diversity
We’ve explored some of this territory before, and in this hour we continue the journey, with works by Mahler, Ravel, Korngold, Rezníček, Bernstein, and more.
