Death of an Israeli composer
UncategorizedYehezkel Braun, a leading composer of choral and orchestral music, has died at the age of 92.
He was a product of the German cultural hothouse that was Breslau (now Wroclaw) and immersed himself unfashionably in Gregorian chant, achieving music of translucent beauty.
Some of his songs achieved near-pop status on national radio.
Piano sonata, 2006:
What a shame – such a lovely man…an fine if under-rated composer
How sad………..he had been poorly for some time and the recent death of his adored wife must have been very hard for him! We have lost a wonderful man and very special musician!!
