About

“A diverse collection of works written by American Jewish composers…. The cultural contribution they made, and are still making, to American music and the arts is invaluable and incalculable. The Milken Archive has documented  a significant portion…. of that legacy.”
 
A central biblical figure, the folk and religious traditions of the Hassidic world, and one of the seminal periods in Jewish history provide the inspiration for the four dance-oriented scores on this new Milken Archive CD.
 
“Jewish Music of the Dance” concludes with the world premiere recording of excerpts from The Vision of Ariel by Ukrainian-born Lazare Saminsky.
 
This is the best performed choral program I’ve come across in the Milken Series.” Fanfare
