5.0 out of 5 stars
A Joyful Listening Experience,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Homesick Songs (Audio CD)
Homesick Songs is a collection of joyful songs with a definite Klezmer feel.
As noted on the liner notes; "This CD is a collection of love songs, not for people but for places: towns, cities and countries left behind in Eastern Europe"..towns that were once Jewish and where the residents once spoke Yiddish. I especially enjoyed the vocals of Annette Ezekiel, and Nikolayev where she is featured is my personal favorite. I would have loved to have the exact text of each song and its translation into English, but the liner notes do give a summary of each song and more information about some of the songs can be found on the Golem website. http://www.golemrocks.com/html/home/

Schrecklich schoen,

This review is from: Homesick Songs (Audio CD)
Piercingly lovely music you will find nowhere else. The musicianship is excellent, the taste perfect, and the research - as illustrated by the field recording that begins Track 3 - commendable. Ezekiel is the reigning genius of Golem, but it is Diskin's transcendent vocals that will make your toes curl in delectation. When fine material and execution combine, as on Tracks 2 and 12, the result is ... who has the words? (Did I mention the linguistic virtuosity of Golem's vocalists? They should get an NEA grant, just for starters.)
4.0 out of 5 stars
Great album,

This review is from: Homesick Songs (MP3 Download)
If you think you know everything about jewish music, Golem will prove you wrong. It is not an homogeneous album though - it's got its ups and downs. But though some songs are only average, the songs that are good are *REALLY GOOD*. If you want to sample it, buy Odessa, a very energetic piece. If you like it, buy the rest of the album. You can't go wrong.
