About This Item
Schelomo Rhapsodie Hebraïque is the most celebrated part of Ernest Bloch's Jewish Cycle, and although originally conceived for voice, Bloch determined that only the cello could adequately embody the character of Solomon. The Suite for Viola and Piano was composed between February and May 1919, and the cello version is the work of the pianist and composer Adolph Baller and cellist Gabor Rejto, who recorded their version in 1969. This album sees the World Premiere Recording of the cello version for orchestra, with cellist Parry Karp, who studied with Rejto Inchgetting to record these two masterpieces with conductor Kenneth Woods and the BBC National Orchestra of Wales is a dream come trueInch - Parry Karp.
