Max Bruch's "Kol Nidrei" is - along with the popular first violin concerto - among his most famous compositions. The melancholic "Adagio after Hebrew Melodies" for the cellist Robert Hausmann was composed in 1880. It employs two ancient Jewish songs whose extraordinary beauty caused the Protestant Bruch, according to his own words, to be deeply moved. The tenor tone of the cello is the ideal medium to evoke the voice of a Jewish cantor, and so to this day the "Kol Nidrei" provides all cellists with a wonderful model of what is called "singing to the instrument".
