In recent times there has been a surge of interest in the uniquely beautiful song forms of Roma (or 'gypsy?) music. Its variety, richness and influence have won international admiration, even as the Romani people themselves have so often been the victims of misunderstanding, prejudice and repression.

Par CASTELNUOVO-TEDESCO MARIO. Born into a family that had lived in Florence since the expulsion of the Jews from Spain in 1492, Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco (1895-1968) entertained only a distant relationship with the music he heard at synagogue.

This piano duet rendition of the 'Ukrainian Bell Carol' is a sure-fire audience winner. Written as free variations, the traditional melody undergoes several transformations---from a lighthearted polka to a brilliantly intense, virtuosic finale. Along the way, the players navigate crossed-hand playing, scales, trills, arpeggios, octave passages, exciting rhythms, and changes of meter. Audiences wil…
