Non-Jewish Composers of "Jewish music"

[Dan Kazez <kazez...>]

Ruben Frankenstein writes of non-Jewish composers who write 
"Jewish music."  How odd!  I wonder what attracted composers 
like Ravel, Prokofief, Shostakovich to compose "Jewish 
music."  And the most bizarre--Max Bruch, who composed one 
of the most famous works of instrumental "Jewish music"--Kol 
Nidre, for cello and piano.

Now, here's more oddneess--as a cellist specializing in 
"Jewish music," I don't perform Bruch's Kol Nidre at any of 
my concerts!
