Under normal circumstances, I surely would have worked Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco into my playlist this afternoon. To my mind, Castelnuovo-Tedesco’s Violin Concerto No. 2, subtitled “The Prophets,” is perfect for Passover. Written for Jascha Heifetz in 1931, its three movements are named for the Old Testament prophets Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Elijah. It is for Elijah that an extra cup of wine is poured at the Passover Seder. I’m doing my part to set a place for the “The Prophets.” You can enjoy it here by following the ink. Chag Sameach!
