About
Prompted by events surrounding the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, his love of all things Cuban, and his affection for Hemmingway’s 'The Old Man and The Sea’' this new concerto is in three movements, moving from the loneliness of the fisherman to the bustle of island life and finally the heroic struggle as he catches a huge marlin, only for it to be eaten by sharks.
Ittai has dedicated the work to his mentor and Champs Hill Records founder David Bowerman, a keen musician and fisherman.
Ittai’s Concierto Latino was premiered in Key West with the Israel Sinfonietta, in sight of Cuba. It is based on Ittai’s terrifying experience of being attacked by a gang in New York in 2005.
Ittai has written a number of virtuosic Caprices for solo violin, including his Caprice Habanera recorded here. He studied composition with Mark Kopytman, who was Osvaldo Golijov’s teacher. Ittai has also commissioned a large number of new works from other composers.
Ittai has performed as soloist with orchestras worldwide, including Detroit Symphony, The Philharmonia, English Chamber Orchestra and Czech National Symphony, and made his critically acclaimed Carnegie Hall debut in 2003.
