About

Songs and Chamber Music brings together two powerful musical voices separated by generations yet united by emotional depth and lyrical intensity. Roman Ryterband's rarely heard works trace a life marked by exile, loss, and cultural memory-from intimate Hebrew songs and elegiac chamber pieces to German Lieder and American-inspired songs shaped by war, displacement, and longing. His music blends late-Romantic richness with Jewish musical echoes, revealing a composer of striking melodic invention and human sensitivity. Alongside Ryterband's rediscovered legacy, Wojciech Stepien offers contemporary reflections on solitude, love, and memory. Drawn from his opera A Single Man and song cycles inspired by James Joyce, Stepien's works evoke California landscapes, inner monologues, and haunting emotional shadows. Together, these recordings form a moving dialogue between past and present-music that speaks quietly, intensely, and with enduring relevance.
