The term ‘freygish’ is typically found in klezmer music but derives from a much older cantorial mode, also known under several other titles including the Ahava Rabbah mode, the Mode of Supplication, and Altered Phrygian mode. It is used for the setting of ‘Ahava Rabbah’, or ‘abounding love’, the Ashkenazi prayer and blessing sung during the synagogue morning services. When performed, either in synagogue or in a klezmer setting, the mode can be developed into a variety of short phrases and melodic forms. Jeremy Arden has taken this beautiful irregular scale and filtered its melodic forms through my own musical sensibilities to create a dialogue between Jewish musical traditions and the western musical canon, expressed here through the rigorous crucible of the string quartet.

In den sechziger Jahren gab es in ganz Europ fur viele Kunstler der klassischen Musik nur eine Adresse fur Schallplatteneinspielungen: EMI/His Master's Voice an der Abbey Road in London. Und der Grund fur eine Reise in die Hauptstadt des Inselreichs waren zwei Manner in den Studios. Der legendare Walter Legge und sein Assistent, der aus Indien emigrierte Suvi Raj Grubb, der von 1963 an die Produktion der Schallplattenaufnahmen uberwachte und damit massgeblich zum Erfolg der Kunstler und des Labels beitrug.In seinen Erinnerungen lasst Grubb die Blutezeit der Schallplatte noch einmal Revue passieren und den Leser gleichsam als Insider teilnehmen an diesen Aufnahmen, lasst ihn all den beruhmten Kunstlern uber die Schulter blicken und sie bei ihrer Arbeit beobachten. Grubb erzahlt spannend und halt auch dort nicht zuruck, wo es problematische Aspekte zu thematisieren gilt: beispielsweise den oft sehr schwierigen Umgang mit eigenwilligen Kunstlerindividualitaten. Entstanden ist eine Reihe liebenswerter, informativer und im Detail durchaus auch kritischer Kunstlerportraits: ein Muss fur alle Liebhaber und Kenner klassischer Schallplatten.

In the past decade the Budapest Klezmer Band and the Ferenc Liszt Chamber Orchestra have proved in their joint concerts that the melodic world of the instrumental music of the Ashkenazic Jews of Eastern Europe and an ensemble consisting of the clarinet, piano, accordion, trombone, violin, double bass and percussion can be successfully combined with the sound of the classical orchestra. Ferenc Jávori's Klezmer Suite has become part of the repertoire of both ensembles, and has scored notable success both in Hungary and abroad. The printed edition made the work accessible for other ensembles as well. The movements can also be performed separately.

String Quartet No.3 was written for, and first performed by the Balanescu Quartet, February 1990 at the Queen Elizabeth Hall, London. Duration 16 minutes. Instrumental parts are available on sale. Quoting composer: In the summer of 1989 I composed a choral work, Out of the Ruins, for Agnieszka Piotrowska's BBC2 documentary which dealt with the physical and emotional responses of some inhabitants of Leninakhan to the earthquake which devastated Armenia the previous December. When he heard the recording of the work that I made with the Holy Echmiadzin Chorus under the fervent conducting of Khoren Meykhanejian, Alex Balanescu suggested turning Out of the Ruins into a string quartet. There seemed no reason or opportunity to do this until I felt the need to add to the intensity of my experiences in Armenia the no less profound experience of witnessing the images of the Romanian revolution on television during the later part of December 1989. The compositional procedure was as follows: to take Out of the Ruins as a template on which the Romanian vocal or instrumental music would be superimposed, quite often stretched into new intervallic shapes though the demands of the completely performed harmonic structure.
