Programme Note
When the great cellist Gregor Piatigorsky saw the 1960 film The Story of Ruth, based on the Book of Ruth, he asked his friend Franz Waxman to arrange the music from his score into a concert piece. Although Waxman never completed Piatigorsky’s commission, Angela Morley has prepared a short work for cello and piano.
The Ruth: Elegy was recently performed in Israel for the first time.
