Editorial Reviews

Review

A must have for any music library! Seems like a contradiction, but this is some of the most innovative music I have heard. Superb production, clever arrangements and exceptional variety of artists who play Hanukkah music like...well like I have never heard before. A must have for any music library...Jewish or otherwise. --Sharone

4.0 out of 5 stars Modern Hanukah Music, January 29, 2006

I had just watched a Hanukah special on Public Television when they advertised a Hanukah CD by Craig Taubman. While browsing here on Amazon, I saw another CD by Mr. Taubman. Hanukah songs done in a more modern way. While my Mother, the traditionalist did not care for it, myself and some of my non-jewish friends who had no idea what they were listening to liked it. I find that the music on the CD can also be used for mood music. Going to try it on my next party. If you are looking for the traditional Hanukah music, this is not the CD. But if you want a different spin on the Hanukah songs you learned and sang, then this is the CD to buy.

I am involved in a Jewish Sorority at my school, and we are having a huge Hanukkah party for the entire campus. We just found this CD, and we are so excited to use it for our event. The president of the sorority just ordered 50 copies to use as door prizes. Great album. Happy Hanukkah!!!!
