And Now For Something Completely Different… You’ve heard of chicken soup for the soul…now Itzhak Perlman, star of the Philharmonic’s Opening Gala on September 27, delves into “Jewish comfort music” with Eternal Echoes: Songs and Dances for the Soul. The album explores the confluences of sound between the violinist’s classical technique (informed by a longtime interest in Jewish traditional music – Perlman has recorded a number of klezmer albums) and the voice of celebrated cantor Yitzchak Meir Helfgot. Perlman’s idea was to offer ”everything that I recognize from my childhood.” Sooth your soul and pick it up today.
