In this recording, conductor Judith Clurman combines the expertise born of thirty years as a prominent conductor with memories of her own childhood in synagogue and her vast knowledge of Jewish themed music to capture the uniqueness of Jewish experience. The repertoire is divide into two categories: holidays and life cycle. The first marks the yearly cycle of events that remind Jews of their history and aspirations. The second sanctifies the moments of celebration and trials that define our lives: birth, coming of age, marriage, and death.
