Ernest Bloch (July 24, 1880 – July 15, 1959) was a Swiss-born American composer.  Bloch's musical style does not fit easily into any of the usual categories; he studied variously with Jaques-Dalcroze, Iwan Knorr and Ludwig Thuille, as well as corresponding with Mahler and meeting Debussy. Many of his works - as can be seen from their Hebrew-inspired titles - also draw heavily on his Jewish heritage. He held several teaching appointments in the U.S., with George Antheil, Frederick Jacobi, Quincy Porter, Bernard Rogers, and Roger Sessions among his pupils.

Lev Markiz is a conductor who was born in Moscow and emigrated to the Netherlands in 1981. He studied chamber music with Maria Yudina and violin with Yuri Yankelevich at the Moscow Conservatory. Markiz later studied conducting with Kirill Kondrashin. Markiz began his career as a violinist, but gradually turned toward conducting. He was a friend of both Shostakovich and Schnittke, two composers with whose music he is closely identified. Markiz has made nearly 100 recordings on the Russian label Melodiya, and since 1981 on BIS, Globe, Brilliant Classics, and others.
