Fleishmann/Shostakovich:  Rothschild&#039:s violin (I)
Venjamin Fleishmann, a young Jewish music student at the Leningrad Conservatory, began writing a one-act opera based on the Chekhov story, Rothschild's Fiddle, but he was killed in World War II before he could finish his work. His teacher, Dmitri Shostakovich, completed the opera, but the anti-Semitic Stalinist regime banned it after one performance in Moskau 1960. Live-Recording at the Gürlitz Synagoge, May 1998.
