Teshuva
Liturgical selections for the Days of Awe
2003

Our expectations were modest: we thought we would play and sing together uninhibitedly for a few hours, purely for the pleasure of it. Then, miraculously, during the sessions we became completely captivated by the music and, especially, by our own interaction. A project that had seemed to follow the more traditional pattern of a singer accompanied by two instrumentalists suddenly became an exercise in generosity toward each other and devotion to the music. Each time we played back the music, we became more and more excited, and the originally planned two or three sessions became five full days of complete immersion in the music.

In this record, César Lerner plays piano, accordion and percussion; Marcelo Moguilevsky clarinet, Jew’s harp, flute and harmonica, and I sing and play guitar.
