The album New Jewish Music, Vol. 1 - Azrieli Music Prizes features the world premiere recordings of works by composer Brian Current, winner of the 2016 Azrieli Commission, and composer Wlad Marhulets, winner of the 2016 Azrieli Prize. In addition to those, the album also features Song of Songs, for soprano and orchestra by Lukas Foss, one of his most important works which the Boston Symphony premiered in 1947. These wonderful works are performed by the Czech National Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Steven Mercurio, with soloists Sharon Azrieli (soprano), David Krakauer (clarinet) and Richard Troxell (tenor).
Wlad Marhulets has had a lifelong fascination with the folk music of his Jewish heritage, along with a determination to bring that music to light on a wider stage. It was while he was studying in New York City that Marhulets met clarinetist David Krakauer, and this meeting eventually lead to the Concerto for Klezmer Clarinet. A composite style of music derived from the Ashkenazi Jewish traditions of Eastern Europe, klezmer (kli-zemer: literally, vessel of music) was largely unwritten, tending to adapt and mould to local contexts as required.
