Ofer Ben-Amots : Celestial Dialogues - Hashkivenu - Shtetl Songs CD

Format: CD

Celestial Dialogues combines two great Jewish musical traditions: a klezmer clarinet solo—deriving from the haunting virtuoso sounds typical of traditional eastern European Jewish bands—and cantorial vocal passages that emanate from age-old Ashkenazi liturgical ritual. Both mystical and worldly, the "dialogues" evoke timeless songs and dances of Jewish experience, striving for the spiritual purification of prayer. Composer Ofer Ben-Amots has also created unforgettable vignettes and character portraits of eastern European Jewry in Shtetl Songs, and he further explores the mysteries of the Sabbath in Hashkivenu—Song of the Angels.
