Re: Max Bruch

  ----- Original Message ----- 
  Is Max Bruch Jewish?
  This German composer (1838-1920) was named Max Christian Friedrich, odd 
enough for a Jew.
  But then he also wrote a Kol Nidrei for cello and orchestra.

  Bruch was not a Jew. But he wrote (on command of the Liverpool Jewish 
Community) several beautiful "Jewish" pieces, including Kol Nidre (1881).
  I can send you a full biography in French, if useful.
