Ivry Gitlis (Haifa, 25 August 1922 – Paris, 24 December 2020)

In his latest years, Ivry listened to all our restored & remastered audio tracks, also via video-chats and over the phone, and being very pleased with the final result, he approved them for release, as his greatest wish was that his live legacy would never be forgotten. This CDs collection has been conceived as a double tribute to Ivry’s Art: posthumous, “in memoriam” of his death, and, in perspective, as a celebration for the Centenary of his birth.
