Music on Hebrew Themes

Album by Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich & Ernest Bloch & Sergei Sergeyevich Prokofiev & I Musici de Montréal & Yuli Turovsky & Nadia Pelle & Mary Ann Hart & Rodney Nolan Miller

Music on Hebrew Themes is a short suite by Dmitri Shostakovich, written in 1948. The work uses folk-derived Jewish modes and dance rhythms within a compact chamber scoring, and it is a rare example of explicitly Jewish material in Shostakovich's late 1940s Soviet-period output.
