Prayer offers the listener an intimate and meditative musical journey, with poignantly chosen pieces.
Sol was inspired to record this album from her experience of playing the piece “Prayer” by Swiss-born Jewish composer Ernest Bloch as an encore in her concerts - she always found the audience was deeply moved and longed for more music of this kind.
As she searched to expand this repertoire, she came across other pieces by Bloch, Dmitri Shostakovich and the cellist Pablo Casals.
The majority of the pieces on this CD are inspired by religious Jewish themes.
