From he CD Booklet:
An essential component of one’s life is the delicate balance, the very thin line between remembering and forgetting. We must forget in order to guard our sanity; 
but we must remember, we are ordered and exhorted to remember, in order to retain God’s image, our very humanness. Noam Buchman plays on this very hairsbreadth division: he lures us to forget with his consummate artistry which carries us through a myriad of associations, but he opens his most personal creation, this recital, with Yizkor ׀ one of the most ancient and sacred tenets of our cultural heritage. Yizkor - in Hebrew, means - "he shall remember"; He - the almighty; he - the human being. Thus the transcendental and the earthly - which are after-all the very essence of music - beckon to us in a unique mold - Noam’s Recital. "Noam’s Recital" ׀ means not a predictable anthology dictated by trends, or fashionable consumerism; it is a personal testimony, a document, a narrative. It is a stream of consciousness, which bears Noam’s taste, predilection, emotional spectrum and empathy with his audience.

Noam Buchman is solo-flutist with the Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra. He performs frequently with the orchestra, records in Israel and abroad, plays with various chamber-music groups. Noam Buchman devotes a major part of his musical activity to performing Israeli music and in 1993 he was awarded the "Prize for excellence in performing Israeli music" By the Arts and Culture Council. In 1998, within the framework of the 50th Anniversary Celebrations of the State of Israel he was honored with the "Oedoen Partos Prize", by the Minister of Culture.
