Rating: - Jewish Pride
This is such a fantastic and moving CD. Written with such exhilaration and power, Dreams and Prayers of Isaac the Blind is sure to become a staple in classical music. What joy to hear the music of this gifted composer, Osvaldo Golijov.

Great music, wonderfully written,
kronos does a wonderful job as usual.
Krakauer is the man suited for the job!!!
Golijov is a great story teller.
