Jewish music

David Raymond, in his American Record Guide (e-mail rightstar (at) aol(dot)com)
review (November/December 1998 p.270) of the classical CD "Visions"
(pieces by Bloch, Ben-Haim, Avni, Schoenberg, and Wolpe) by pianist
David Holzman wrote

"To paraphrase Virgil Thomson's famous remark about American music,
writing Jewish music is simple -- all you have to do is be Jewish and
then write whatever music you wish!"
