This review is from: Brighton Beach Memories - Neil Sedaka Sings Yiddish (Audio CD)

Brighton Beach Memories is a trip down memory lane, Neil's voice is still as wonderful as always. This Yiddish album can be enjoyed by listeners who know or do not know Yiddish. The arrangements intersperse the sung Yiddish lyrics with English lyrics which translate the Yiddish. Sedaka piano playing with accordion and clarinet. The background music compliments his voice rather than over powers it. The selection of songs consists of traditional as well as more recent Yiddish songs. The only one it missed in the collection was "Papirosen." Those listeners who enjoyed the "Mamaloshin" CD recorded by Mandy Patinkin will want to add this to their CD collection.

Although I've always liked Neil Sedaka in the past, he really surprised me with this CD. It is just wonderful. I cried a bit, tapped my feet a bit and sang along to lots of the songs. But most of all, the way he delivers, brought back many childhood memories for me. I only hope he comes out with another one in Yiddish, I'll be first in line. I loved this CD so much I got one for both my sisters.
