5.0 out of 5 stars My introduction to klezmer, May 25, 2009
By 
Eleanor Skinner (Albany, NY United States) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)    (REAL NAME)   
My dad brought this home one day from a music festival (in cassette tape form) to see if I'd like it, since we both liked East European folk. It was amazing! I went out and got all the klezmer I could. This is original early 20th century stuff, with packed liner notes. It has all the energy of ska with the joy and sadness and humor of Eastern Europe and Ashkenazi Jews. It's beautiful. I've found very few collections that are as good overall as this one.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not for beginners, September 13, 2000
I bought this CD at a jewish music festival in London. It's something of a collector's piece; interesting if you are fairly familier with the genre, but possibly a little obscure and repetitive for 'novices'. It's compiled from old recordings and has a nice authentic and scratchy feel. It's particularly interesting to compare treatments of certain songs with those on other early klezmer CDs. These men could really play.
