This review is from: I'm a Slave to Your Beauty - Hebrew Sephardi and Yiddish Songs (Audio CD)

I am a fan of Sephardic and Yiddish music, so I was looking forward to listening to this. I was specifically looking for Yerushalayim Shel Zahav (Jerusalem the Gold), and yes, this album contains that song, but I had to stop the CD before the song ended. About half of the songs on this album are sung rather well, but THIS was not one of them. Perhaps mezzo-sopranos have trouble controlling their pitch at high volume and/or slow tempo and I should just be more understanding. Perhaps I am completely spoiled by the perfect tenor I can hear each Shabbat -- Hazzan David Propis. (If you can find his CDs, you will be glad you did.) Whatever the "handicap," today I was looking for a good soprano voice in this genre, and it seems I must continue the search....
