Dirge, For Flute And String Orchestra, Op. 5b / Concerto For English Horn And Chamber Orchestra, Op. 19 / Concertino For Oboe And String Orchestra, Op. 11 / Suite For Strings, Op. 16

Released by the Israeli label Jerusalem Records in 1982, this recording features the Israel Chamber Orchestra performing a selection of chamber works by Yohanan Boehm. Born in Breslau in 1914, Boehm was a significant figure in the Israeli classical music scene who settled in Jerusalem after emigrating in the 1930s. His compositions, including the Concerto for English Horn and the Concertino for Oboe presented here, often reflect a neoclassical influence combined with a distinct, lyric sensibility that was well-regarded within the mid-century Israeli musical establishment.

The album serves as a documentation of the Israel Chamber Orchestra's repertoire under conductors such as Eli Jaffe and featured soloists George Haas and Michael Weintraub. Jerusalem Records played a vital role during this period in archiving the works of Israeli composers who were deeply integrated into the nation's cultural fabric. The design of the release follows the typical aesthetic of the era's classical labels, prioritizing clarity and archival integrity to introduce international audiences to a specific body of contemporary Israeli concert music.
