JOACHIM STUTSCHEWSKY (1891-1982): Hassidic Fantasy, PAUL JUON (1872-1940): Trio-Miniaturen, Op. 18, MAX BRUCH (1838-1920): 8 Pieces, Op. 83.

Description: If the genre of Jewish music, conveyed in western European terms, appeals to you, Stutchewsky's 1954 Fantasy - no mere trifle at just under 20 minutes - will be one of the finest examples you will hope to find. Son of a musical family (klezmer) and cellist (he studied under Julius Klengel), he spent much of his time, even before his 1938 emigration to Palestine, studying and promoting Jewish music and this result strikes one as a Jewish Dumky trio. Trio Eleonore.
