Evocation - Violin Works by Paul Ben-Haim
Itamar Zorman, violin

Israeli violinist Itamar Zorman, a recipient of an Avery Fisher Career Grant and joint winner of the International Tchaikovsky Competition, makes a case not only for the artistic quality of this repertoire, but also for its relevance today, in light of the composer’s immigrant experience and its impact on his musical language. The album is named after Ben-Haim’s 1942 "poem" for violin and orchestra, recorded here for the first time. BELOW: The Borletti-Buitoni Trust has made a short film in which Mr. Zorman reflects on Ben-Haim’s life and work and why he was drawn to this project.
