BEN-HAIM Symphony No. 2 / Lahav Shani | Deutsche Grammophon

Conductor Lahav Shani and the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, of which he is the Music Director, announce their upcoming album featuring a landmark new recording of Paul Ben-Haim’s powerful Symphony No. 2.

This richly expressive score, infused with both European symphonic tradition and Middle Eastern colour, stands as a cornerstone of Israeli orchestral music. Shani and the IPO bring fresh urgency and brilliance to this rarely heard masterpiece.

Listen to a first pre-release track of the third movement Andante affettuoso e languendo of the Symphony. The full album will be released digitally on 10 October and is now available for pre-order.
