In 1933, German-born Paul Frankenburger immigrated to Mandatory Palestine, changed his name to Paul Ben-Haim and became a highly regarded, influential composer. Tonight we hear a new album from the BBC Philharmonic and Chief Conductor Omer Meir Wellber of music by Ben-Haim from this crucial period. Plus cellist Steven Isserlis performs cello arrangements of works by John Tavener.
