Psalm from Symphony no. 1
Lahav Shani, Conductor
The second movement has been accompanying us since World War II and now seems more relevant than ever. It is based on a Persian tune to the words “I will lift up my eyes unto the hills, from whence will my help come?” (Psalm 121, A Song of Ascents).

Euch zuzuhören macht nun bei mir so viel Traurigkeit….spielt..spielt..bleibt tapfer…Musik ist so friedlich und könnte doch auch wieder vereinen…ich bin traurig, was Euch und Eurem Land wieder passiert…hört die Last nie auf tapfer zu sein….sollte die Strafe immer noch Wurzeln haben…nein…es wird von Menschenhand …und deren Gedanken gesteuert..bleibt tapfer,dafür seid ihr bekannt
Am watching this Oct 16, 2023, 10 days after Hamas attacked Israel. The music sounds very appropriate, but don't know when it was performed, or how it could've been since the attack began and continues.
When was it recorded? Great performance!
Love the music! When was it performed please ?
Wonderful orchestra. Hope you are all safe. Britain is thinking of you all. Would love to be able to buy a ticket to watch your concerts live online.
‘I will lift up mine eyes to the hills, from whence shall my help come? ….

Splendid music in times of trouble, also with David, s psalm 60….Thank you all!
Long live Israel and the splendid Israel Philharmonic orchestra!!!
