JANELLE GELFAND - Music editor for The Cincinnati Enquirer.

Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra violist Steven Rosen and guitarist Richard Goering have released an album of traditional and folk gems, which they adapted and arranged for their duo. The instrumental disc includes, "Raisins & Almonds," Abraham Goldfaden's famous setting of a Yiddish lullaby, and the lovely "Erev shel shoshanim" (Evening walk in the roses). It finishes with Rosen's spiritual performance of "Kol Nidre."
