VIOLINIST YUVAL WALDMAN PERFORMS “MUSIC FORGOTTEN AND REMEMBERED” IN MERKIN CONCERT HALL – KAUFMAN CENTER. Israeli-American violinist Yuval Waldman will be giving a solo recital of “Music Forgotten and Remembered” at Merkin Concert Hall, Kaufman Center, 129 West 67th Street, NYC on Tuesday March 29, 2011 at 8 PM. Born in the Ukraine to Holocaust survivors, Waldman – who has been described as “brilliant” (Musical America) and “spectacular” (New York Times) – has recently been presenting rarely-performed gems composed by Eastern European Jews, many of whom perished during World War II or were silenced by Soviet repression. As Artistic Director of Music Bridges International, Mr. Waldman was able to rediscover these pieces by searching music libraries and obscure music collections in Russia, Ukraine, Czech Republic and Israel. They represent a wide spectrum of stylistic influences on Jewish composers: impressionistic, neoclassical, folk and Klezmer. These pieces fill an unexplored gap in early twentieth century Jewish music repertory which fully deserves to be heard today. “Music Forgotten and Remembered” presents the first New York performance of five of these rediscovered works:
Rounding out the program are two French violin masterpieces: “Sonata in A Major” for violin and piano by Cesar Franck, written for the great Belgian violinist Eugene Ysaye, and Maurice Ravel’s “Tzigane”. Mr. Waldman dedicates the performance of these pieces to his mentors Josef Gingold, a student of Eugene Ysaye and Zino Francescatti, the foremost representative of violin French romantic school who performed the “Tzigane” with Maurice Ravel. Waldman will be assisted by Ukrainian-Israeli pianist Inesa Sinkevych, a prize winner in the Arthur Rubinstein International Competition. Tickets are available at the Merkin Concert Hall Box Office (phone 212-501-3330) - $25, $15 for seniors and students with ID.
