Album Description
Hugo Weisgall united an early affinity for the musical aesthetics of Schoenberg, Berg, and Webern with a lifelong commitment to and fascination with his Jewish heritage. His symphonic masterpiece, T’kiatot, is based on a central section of the traditional Rosh Hashana service in which the shofar (ram’s horn) is sounded three times. The song cycle Psalm of the Distant Dove is based on biblical and medieval Hebrew-Spanish poetry. Also inspired by the Golden Age of Spanish Jewry is A Garden Eastward, one of Weisgall’s most rhapsodic vocal and orchestral conceptions, which the composer once called his "most beautiful work."
