Levitin/Wagner - Alberto Hemsi: Coplas Sefardies, Vol. 1

With their first of several planned CDs of Alberto Hemsi�s Coplas Sefardies, Assaf Levitin (cantor at the Liberal Jewish synagogue in Hanover) and his pianist Naaman Wagner recover an almost forgotten treasure of European and Jewish cultural history � just in time for the composer�s 120th birthday in 2018. This project plays a significant role in preserving the Judaeo-Sephardic culture of the Mediterranean, which dates back over half a millennium.
