5.0 out of 5 stars
What an Amazing CD!,
By Mariko S. Goldberg (New York, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ghetto Tango: Wartime Yiddish Theater (Audio CD)
Ghetto Tango is a remarkable CD. Beautifully performed by master musicians Cooper and Mlotek and accessable to all audiences I believe that this album is one of the best of the year. The songs are at once funny, disturbing, beauiful, moving and grotesque. What a great change from the usual sugary-sweet, pseudosentimental holocaust memorial recordings! Here we have an honest and true testiment to the complexities of the Jewish experience during the Holocaust. But this isn't just an album to use simply as a memorial, it's a great listen and surprisingly delightful. It is certainly a must for any world music collector and certainly for any Jewish music lover!

Wartime Yiddish Cabaret - A Rich Emotional Experience,
By NYC Diva (New York, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ghetto Tango: Wartime Yiddish Theater (Audio CD)
Ghetto Tango is a compilation of beautiful and deeply moving interpretations of the music created and performed in the Jewish ghettos during the war, presented by two exceptionally gifted musicians. Adrienne Cooper and Zalmen Mlotek are both in top form, delivering the haunting melodies and heartbreaking lyrics with rich emotional texture. Some of the songs are in English and most are in Yiddish, but excellent liner notes as well as the seamless translations interspersed with some of the songs make it a thrilling listening experience even for those who don't know Yiddish at all.

Yiddish everyone can appreciate.,
By Theresa Ann McIntyre (San Francisco, California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ghetto Tango: Wartime Yiddish Theater (Audio CD)
You don't have to know Celtic to enjoy Enya and you don't have to know Yiddish to be completely entranced by the haunting melodies and text presented by Adrienne Cooper and Zalmen Mlotek. The lyrics are presented in such way that I was transported to the ghettos of Warsaw and Vilna. The spirit and courage of the oppressed Jews whose voices were silenced are given voice in this remarkable CD. Kudos!
