by Semjon Kalinowsky (viola) and Paul Kayser (organ)
Following the rich tradition of the Jewish liturgy and the synagogue organ, this programme unites the great classics like “Kol Nidrei” by M. Bruch and “Prayer” by E. Bloch with the valuable but forgotten works that we discovered owing to our intensive research. Our main objective is to forge links between tradition and modernity. Thanks to the composers Jehan Alain and Hermann Berlinski it seems to come true.
The concert programme “Jewish Prayer” offers a rare constellation of two musical instruments – organ and viola – and this constellation is supposed to promise an exceptional sound experience.
