Paul Ben-Haim is one of the leading Israeli composers of his generation. Born Paul Frankenburger in Munich, he studied composition with Friedrich Klose and was assistant to the conductors Bruno Walter and Hans Knappertsbusch. His extensive oeuvre includes compositions of all important genres with the exception of opera. Music for or with cello plays an important role in Ben-Haim's oeuvre. After his emigration, he increasingly advocated a specifically Jewish, national sound language, while his own compositions always retained a late Romantic vein, reminiscent of Ernest Bloch and often characterized by Middle Eastern echoes.
