Customer Reviews

Great Jewish Music
This is a reissue of material recorded and available in the 1960s. It features the London Festival Orchestra under the leadership of the wonderful Stanley Black, and includes several additional tracks not on the original album. Also liner notes are provided by the comedian Alan King.

The music is symphonic in style and just beautiful. It is hard to imagine anyone who loves Jewish music not being thrilled by this CD. And it would be a wonderful introduction for anyone who wants to introduce themselves to the same. The song Rumania, Rumania is especially good and the version of Yussel, Yussel (Joseph, Joseph) is as good as I have ever heard. While mostly orchestral in form, there are some limited vocal portions as well. I highly recommend this CD and dare you to stand still while listening.

Excellent!
Excellent - I'm not from a Jewish background and some of this music I haven't heard before but love it. There are several pieces from "The Fiddler on the Roof", which is my favorite movie as well as my granddaughter's. (She's six.) When she comes over to visit, she's had me put in the DVD just to listen to the music. We particularly like the one "To Life"! We can almost the dancing when we listen. It's great!
