Op. 37 was composed in 1925.<br/><br/>"By the early 1930s Castelnuovo-Tedesco became increasingly concerned for Italian Jewry and when Heifetz approached him for a concerto I profeti 1931 he saw an opportunity to take a stand later commenting in 1940 . 'I felt proud of belonging to a race so unjustly persecuted; I wanted to express this pride in some large work glorifying the splendour of the past days and the burning inspiration which inflamed the envoys of God the prophets'. About the purge which began in Italy in January 1938 he wrote 'I happened to be the "pioneer". My music was suddenly banished from the Italian radio and some performances of my works were cancelled. A public performance of I profeti scheduled by Italian radio in Turin in January 1938 was suddenly cancelled by a mysterious telephone order from Rome and that happened six months before the anti-Semitic laws were issued.'<br/><br/>In the summer of 1939 shortly before the outbreak of war he left with his family for New York staying in Larchmont for a year and a half before moving to California. There in autumn 1940 he signed a contract with Metro-Goldwyn-Meyer beginning a relationship from 1940 to 1956 with several Hollywood studios including Columbia Universal Warner Brothers 20th-Century Fox and CBS."
