About

This is the sixth and final CD documenting the music of the ‘Moscow New Jewish School’. The music featured focuses primarily upon Jewish composers active in Moscow and St.Petersburg during the early decades of the 20th century.

‘Zimro’ (meaning ‘singer’) was the name of a chamber music ensemble whose first concert took place in 1918 in St. Petersburg. Today, this historic ensemble is remembered as the group of musicians for whom Prokofiev composed his ‘Overture on Hebrew Themes Op.34’.
