Baal Shem explores Eastern European Hasidic traditions in all their expressive intensity in this version for viola and orchestra transcribed by soloist Hong-Mei Xiao. Bloch's 1918 Coolidge Prize-winning Suite for Viola and Orchestra remains one of the twentieth century's enduringly important works for the instrument, whilst the Suite heraique, written in his last decade, absorbs Jewish elements ever more fluently and subtly.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Vidui (Contrition) \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Nigun (Improvisation) \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Simchas Torah (Rejoicing) \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Lento - Allegro - Moderato \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Allegro Ironico \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Lento \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Molto Vivo \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Rapsodie \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Processional: Andante Con Moto \u003cbr\u003e1.10 Affirmation: Maestoso\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Hong-Mei Xiao","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40556800180295,"sku":"20849108","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/2248520.jpg?v=1747371210","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/bloch-xiao-budapest-sym-orch-mav-smolij-suite-for-viola-orch-suite-hebraique-baal-shem","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
