This review is from: Foreign Letters (Audio CD)

chava alberstein is an israeli singer who has been recording continuously since the mid 60s.she has recordings in everystyle thinkable and she is equally convincing as a rockstar,folk singer with a guitar,or smoky cabaret chanteusse.in this fascinating trilingual album she gives a new distinctively personal and modern twist to world music.words fail to describe the feelings she conjures with her voice.just put this cd on and you'll embark on a beautiful musical journey.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Beautiful Voice and the Best Israel Has to Offer, January 2, 2006

I love all of the tracks on this cd. My favorite, however, is The Secret Garden. Chava Alberstein has an incredible voice, full of passion and sorrow--in a word, soul. I have other cds of hers, but the tracks on here are by far some of her best.

Try it, you'll buy it; and you'll love it!

A friend recommended to get acquainted with Chava Alberstein's music, and I am so happy he did. Chava Alberstein has a great deep, expressive, and husky voice. The music is very pleasant and there is a feeling she sings "from the heart". Her songs in Hebrew are simply beautiful...I now admire this very talented singer and would collect her albums if given a chance.
