Concert opgenomen in de radiostudio in Lugano in 1983
"Schnittkes 1985 Viola Concerto charts a life-story that includes laughter and tears. Inevitably tragic, it ends with a funeral march where the interplay of soloist and orchestra seems a literal presentation of the death of body and spirit. Poignant echoes from the second movement a wildly energetic dance that sidesteps into dreamy waltztime heighten the sense of dissolution. Most abstract of the three movements is the first, its dark chromaticisms shared by the terse Monologue of 1989. Zimmermann finds poetry in the anguish, ameliorating the bleakness of this fragile sonata movement with warm, vigorous playing. High temperature in Kopytmans Cantus V is inherent in the score: colourful and dynamic, with subtle, whispering textures, like Bartókian night music on fast-forward. The Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra is impeccable under Shallons direction in a recording that maintains truth to nature." (Nicholas Williams, BBC Music Magazine; 5 uit 5 sterren voor uitvoering én registratie)
Feidman's incredible versatility is proven beyond a doubt with this recording, made with the Jerusalem Symphony. He displays his understanding and mastery of not only Klezmer, but music by Ravel, Hajdu and selections from 'Schindler's List'. When Giora Feidman was invited by Stephen Spielberg to record for the film 'Schindler' List', he knew that his own production for this record would take place in Jerusalem, not far from Schindler's grave. Feidman wanted to include these pieces, hoping that through the music Schindler's message would be brought closer to the hearts of people and all mankind. (Walmart)
