About

This album takes as its jumping-off point Polish composer Mieczysław Weinberg’s Clarinet Sonata.

Its resonances are then answered in British Hungarian pianist and composer Michael Csányi-Wills’s own new Clarinet Sonata.

References to Jewish themes emergent in both works take centre stage in Michael’s Variations on a Ukrainian Theme, which takes as its source material a recording of a song by a 19-year-old concentration camp prisoner from 1945 – the same year that Weinberg wrote his Sonata.

Finally, we come full circle but heard afresh, with a cross-genre realisation of Weinberg’s Rhapsody on Moldavian Themes by a contemporary klezmer band.
