Greg Wall's Later Prophets: Ha'Orot: The Kook Project

Read "Ha'Orot: The Kook Project" reviewed by Eyal Hareuveni


Rabbi Avraam Izchak HaCohen Kook (1865-1935) was one of the most influential and inspirational religious Jewish thinkers of the 20th century. Kook was a man who was humanistic in his philosophy.

John Zorn: The Rain Horse

Read "The Rain Horse" reviewed by Martin Longley


This is number XIX in Zorn's Filmworks series, his self-confessed outlet for accessible composition, at least throughout most of its editions. The saxophonist doesn't actually play on this soundtrack disc, concentrating on writing, arranging and conducting. The result is a sequence of what must surely be Zorn's most restful, reflective, melodic and lyrical music, performed by ...
