About this product

The rich musical heritage of the Litvaks is only just beginning to be explored. The music by Jewish composers who were born in, lived in, or emigrated from Lithuania has been lurking in the background for many years. This new creative chapter opens with an album that features two prominent musical figures, the Lithuanian violinist Dalia Dedinskaite and the Canadian pianist Walter Delahunt. Together, they present a musical journey showcasing the creativity of the Litvaks, from Lazdijai in Lithuania to Hollywood in the USA. The album's title, Estrellita (The Star), is not only an allusion to one of it's pieces, but also a multi-sensory symbol. Estrellita, also the Star of David, is a light in the darkness, a star of remembrance. It illuminates the paths of personalities, destinies, and creativity, from those who left to those who stayed. The album Estrellita draws parallels between the lives and works of two legendary 20th-century Litvaks, Jascha Heifetz (1901-1987) and Joseph Achron (1886-1943). It also opens up the musical world of Anatolijus Šenderovas (1945-2019), one of the most prominent Lithuanian composers of the second half of the 20th century and the early 21st century.

Tomas de Hijar Ornelas writes of this InchWe have been offered an array of musical pieces from Ramon Noble's copious production. Noble achieved an honorable title reserved for few that of total musician; because along with being a pedagogue, choir director and organist, he was a prolific composer during his long lifetime, as well as one of the few Mexican musicians who, following the gap opened and worked by his predecessors and contemporaries Miguel Bernal Jimenez, Arnulfo Miramontes, Jesus Estrada, Hermilio Hernandez, and Paulino Paredes, reached a total dominion of the most complex musical instrument created by mankind. The fact that two decades away from his death his musical recordings are meager, triggered Victor Manuel Morales to take on the task of paying this acquired debt. This way... The talented and perfectionist interpreter obtained, with the utmost care and help from his assistant, an admirable sound record, clean of external noises...Inch
