Paul Ben-Haim’s Symphony No. 1 was one of those “first-time events” because it was the first symphony a Jewish composer ever composed in the Land of Israel; the first of its kind to be premiered by an Israeli orchestra and of course, his first one. Ben-Haim was born in Munich to German Jews and realized his education in Germany. The rise of the Nazis forced him into exile in 1933, choosing the British Mandate of Palestine as his new home. By combining his abilities as conductor/composer, he immediately decided to organize musical life in the region, mostly because there was a massive wave of equally talented European Jews that were fleeing the same monster. The symphony was composed between August 1939 and June 1940: the first months of WWII. While it certainly reflects all hardships the world and Jews in Europe were living those days, it is a purely abstract work that nonetheless uses Jewish folk music as source of inspiration.
La Sinfonía No. 1 de Paul Ben-Haim fue uno de esos eventos primigenios al ser la primera sinfonía jamás compuesta por un judío en la Tierra de Israel; la primera de su tipo en ser estrenada por una orquesta israelí y claro, su primera incursión en el género. Ben-Haim nació en Munich, hijo de judíos alemanes y realizó sus estudios en Alemania. El alzamiento de los Nazis lo forzó a exiliarse en 1933, eligiendo el Mandato Británico de Palestina como su nuevo hogar. Usando sus habilidades de compositor/director, decidió organizar la vida musical de la región más que nada por la gigantesca ola de judíos europeos talentosos que huían del mismo monstruo. La sinfonía fue compuesta entre agosto de 1939 y junio de 1940: los primeros meses de la 2ª Guerra Mundial. Si bien ésta refleja las vicisitudes que el mundo y los judíos de Europa vivieron en aquellos días aciagos, la obra es enteramente abstracta muy a pesar del uso de música folclórica judía como fuente de inspiración.

I studied with Paul Ben-Haim. One of the finest gentlemen I ever met.
A deeply well written work, worthy of recognition in today's concert halls. This composer is new to me, I'm impressed.
Just saw and listened to it my first time, performed by munich Philharmoniker with Lahav Shani. What a revelation! Blew me away! Am I wrong or is he at some point citing the Jupiter theme from Holsts Planets?
An impressive piece. I've heard of this composer but haven't heard any of his music till now. Thanks for the posting.
Thank you for posting it ! it was just performed in Israel few weeks ago with IPO and their new conductor Lahav Shani who chose the piece as part of the repertoire for his very first season as the music director of the Orchestra.
And also last week again April 2021
And today he did it again in Munich. We are really lucky to get him as conductor!
thank you!!! Excellent channel...blessings!
Congrats! And thank you for your channel, and for your knowledge and dedication in finding these marvelous and intriguing pieces.
A beautiful and important symphony. Should be more performed and known. You can feel the deep sorrow in the slow movement. Paul Ben-Haim was israels most important composer I think. Great performance here. ******
Glad I found you. sub'd.
Representa extraordinariamente las emociones y el dramatismo de la época. Escrita en los inicios de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, refleja el horror, la incertidumbre y la tremenda injusticia provocada por los genocidas nazis. Hay mucho sufrimiento en estas notas. 24 de Enero de 2016
Performed Ben-Haim's great variations for clarinet & orchestra years ago.
Easy to agree with the enthusiasm here: this is a splendid Symphony !!!
24 de Enero de 2016 .- Antes sólo conocí Berceuse sefaradí ( En Encores de Itzhak Perlman ). Con curiosidad escucho esta sinfonía.
That composition was used in the Sir Laurence Olivier narrating the bible album
Lovingly and intensely emotional, this fine symphony has the stamp of originality, especially in its' slow movement. I admit to my concern that the first movement's development would ever develop, and that the finale seemed odd, and I didn't quite "get it" at first, but my doubts were resolved, and I both enjoyed, and was discomfited, by the work.
A dramatic symphony indeed!
Do you know when the recording was made?
Thanks for posting this extraordinary piece!
