The immensely prolific Greek composer Nikos Skalkottas (1909- 1949) was the favorite student of Arnold Schoenberg, who considered him his most gifted pupil after Berg and Webern.

A rare opportunity to hear music of this master who was quite totally ignored and/or rejected (like our own Charles Ives) in his own lifetime. He composed more than 200 sometimes very extended works (of Mahlerian proportions), the vast majority of which are only now being recorded and becoming available on CD.

Israeli-born Idith Meshulam lives and works in New York City and is a specialist in a wide, stylistically broad range of contemporary music.
