- Promoting Jewish Music and embracing lesser known composers from an unrepresented background

- First recordings of the Min HaAyara and possibly of the others as well.

- Both soloists are Jewish

The central thread linking all the works featured in this recording is their assimilation of various elements of Jewish music, whether directly stemming from Chassidic folk traditions, or relating to material directly associated with religious worship. Each composer responds to this music in different ways, attempting in varying degrees to integrate it within the structural conventions of a Western European musical mainstream. By doing so, the music projects a multitude of emotions and feelings.

The London Chamber Orchestra is dedicated to promoting inclusion in music and are honoured to have recorded this album alongside Simca Heled, Jack Liebeck and with their own Music Director Christopher Warren-Green.
