"Active for over a decade, NY cellist Erik Friedlander is finally receiving his due recognition, not just as a musician, but as a composer of note. These works display his unique take on Radical Jewish Culture -- sweeping melodic lines (reminiscent of cantorial singing) in instrumental arrangements that are both adventurous and traditional."

Format:	CD
Price:	$14.50

"Volume 8 in the continuing Book of Angels series is an intimate and breathtaking recital by one of the world's most accomplished cellists. A vital member of the Masada family from the very beginning, Erik Friedlander has hypnotized audiences both here and in Europe with his own bands Topaz, Broken Arm and Grains of Paradise. Stepping out in a special solo project, Erik shows off his remarkable technique in ten compositions from Zorn's lyrical Book of Angels. This is Erik at his best. Rich, romantic, gripping music to both challenge and soothe the savage beast."
