[Michel Borzykowski <borzykowski...>]

Choral Concert in the Jewish and Christian traditions 
"Psalms"

The first CD produced by AMJ, the Association "Friends of Jewish Music" 

has just been issued.

This digital recording made live at the remarkable concert given on

11 March 2001 at the Geneva Conservatory brings you

the Choir of the Russian Orthodox Church, dir. A. Diakoff
the Vocal Ensemble "Henri Milstein", dir. H. Milstein
the "Polhymnia" Choir, dir. R. Szekely

These three choirs, representing the Jewish and Christian traditions, interpret 
each their own repertoire, but also twice join to perform works by
Salomone Rossi.
A deeply moving occasion, when the spirit of tolerance and spiritual communion
are transmuted into music.
