Re: Classical Recordings: Jewish?

[Robert Cohen <rlcm17...>]

Bob, I'm puzzled.  Some of these titles--certainly the Gluck, say--sound 
like purely instrumental works.  In what way could they have _textual_ 
Jewish content ito (=in terms of) Scriptural references and the like?  I.e., 
as opposed to thematically Jewish musical content?
