"This is a story about the power of music. Music written by three Czech 
composers, each of whom was imprisoned in Nazi concentration camps. It is also 
a look at the way in which the human mind and its artistic credo react when 
faced with intolerable circumstances. Can one ever really divorce the context 
in which such music is composed? Probably not, but then, that is not the issue 
at stake. Two of these composers were celebrated on the international scene, 
and the third was about to be discovered as a major talent. What they have 
written is powerful, unsentimental and uncompromising. It's as if every single 
note counted - these men were literally writing for their lives." 

Dance of the idiots

This young Israeli musician may be an iconoclast but Koby Israelite's 
Klezmer-influenced CD on John Zorn's groundbreaking Tzadik label has attracted 
outstanding reviews from around the world - radical Jewish culture. CD £14
