Beautiful performance of Achron's unpublished violin music

"Many of the works of Joseph Achron, a composer and virtuoso violinist (1886-1943), have been never published. They have survived and found their way to the National Library at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem by sheer luck.Hagai Shaham, accompanied by Arnon Erez (piano), beautifully performs many violin short works of Achron, most of them recorded for the first time from his unpublished work. This is a real achievement of Hagai Shaham, and an impressive monument to Joseph Achron.Unfortunately, I can find only few albums with Hagai Shaham. I wish and hope that this gifted violinist records many more albums."
Briliant performance of both exciting and moving music

"Hagai Shaham's performance of Achron's music is a real delight. It talks directly to your soul and fills it with magic. Highly recommended."
