He came to Israel (then Palestine) with his parents in 1933, and received his education there. He was a member of the Hagana before WWII, during which he served in the Royal Air Force in North Africa. After the war, he rejoined the Hagana, which was incoporated into the Israel Defence Force in 1948, and served in the IDF. In 1952 he moved with his family to Canada, where he worked in the automotive and broadcasting fields. He founded BAROQUE RECORDS in Montreal, and following his move to the USA, incorporated it into ORION MASTER RECORDINGS *.
He has produced over 1,000 albums of classical music on his own and other labels. In addition to hundreds of articles, recordings and concert reviews, he also authored three books: ZION LIBERATED (with Max Seligman); LILIAN - ISRAEL'S FIRST LADY OF CUISINE; and NOTE-PERFECT (Thirty years in classical music recording). Together with his wife Marion, they translated into Hebrew several books and articles, including John Steinbeck's THE WAYWARD BUS.
MARION CORNFIELD (nee Waxman) was born in Berlin in 1926, and as a young child moved to Israel (then Palestine) in 1935. While still in grade school, she began tutoring younger children, joined the underground, and was a volunteer paramedic in Magen David Adom. Later, she spent a year in a kibbutz. She married her high-school sweetheart when both were twenty, and moved to Montreal in 1952. Following her move to the USA, she continued her education at UCLA and the University of Judaism, and taught Hebrew for many years. Now retired in Hawaii, she continues her work as a volunteer mediator - but misses her son and daughter and the grandchildren.
* Marion designed the album covers for both Baroque and Orion Master Recordings.ver menos
