Kol Nidre

Price range: £7.99 through £16.99

I recorded most of this album ten years ago as a birthday present for my father. For one reason and another I never for round to releasing it back then; but not I find that events in the world and in my life have turned my thoughts back to themes of Jewishness.

It all began when I suggested to my friend the composer Alexei Kurbatov that he should write his own version of the Kol Nidre for string quartet and sax for the festival we run together. At that moment I decided it was time to finish the record.
