Paul Ben-haim: Music F... - Ofer Canetti - Audio CD (Arrives in 50 days)

Paul Ben-Haim ranks among the leading Israeli composers of his generation. Born Paul Frankenburger in Munich, he studied composition with Friedrich Klose and served as an assistant conductor to both Bruno Walter and Hans Knappertsbusch. His extensive catalogue comprises works in all the primary genres apart from opera. Music for or with cello features prominently throughout Ben-Haim's output. Following emigration, he increasingly advocated a specifically Jewish national expression, while his own compositions favored a late-Romantic vein redolent of—though by no means indebted (unlike other contemporaries) to—Ernest Bloch, frequently informed by Middle-Eastern overtones.
