Golijov’s piece commemorates Isaac Bashevis Singer, Leonard Bernstein and three children who perished at the hands of the Nazis. The Jewish experience is further explored in a tuneful piano trio by Mendelssohn, who was born Jewish; a sonata by Weinberg, whose family suffered from decades of anti-Semitic violence; and a charming piece that Prokofiev wrote while in America.
