About

These works reflect the varied ethnic strains that are woven into the Israeli national fabric, whether indigenous to the local populations or brought from Europe, elsewhere in the Near East, or North Africa. 
 
Alternately vibrant and atmospheric, these pieces offer appealing musical sketches of the Israeli national character and landscape.
 
This disc includes works by prolific composers such as Kurt Weill and Julius Chajes, and all works are performed with enthusiasm and aplomb by a wide variety of artists.
