Discover the timeless brilliance of classical piano music with Bracha Eden's captivating album, released on September 9, 1968, under Decca Music Group Ltd. This album is a stunning collaboration featuring Bracha Eden and Alexander Tamir on pianos, accompanied by James Holland and Tristan Fry on percussion.
