A record prepared from the expertise of the Jewish Folk Music
Music Society guarantees an authentic programme of traditional
songs. These are not sung, but heard as transcriptions for violin
and piano made by Russian composers: Rimsky-Korsakov, Engel,
Feldman, Achron, Weinberg, Krein, Gniessin, Rosowsky
[listen -- track 15, 2:57-4:15] and Saminsky.
There is a decided continuity of style, mostly intense and reflective.
Performances are highly sympathetic to Rimsky-Korsakov's enormous
regard for the sensitivity of this special repertory, which just
preceded the founding of the Jewish Folk Musio Society in 1908.
The American violinist Zina Schiff proves ideal for this material,
matched by the excellence of pianist Cameron Grant.
