4.0 out of 5 stars
Great renditions of seldom heard material, December 21, 2007
This review is from: Jan Peerce Sings Songs From "Fiddler On The Roof" And Ten Classics Of Jewish Folk Song (Audio CD)
Never mind the songs from Fiddler, although it is interesting to hear "Sunrise Sunset" sung in Yiddish, the original cast album does a better job. However, this CD is worth having for some of the Jewish folk songs, some of which I had never heard before. "Oy a nacht..." is a beautiful song, beautifully done. And "Dortn, dortn" is a real heartbreaker if you understand Yiddish, and lovely even if you do not.
While the songs are described in the liner notes, I would have liked to have been provided with the exact Yiddish words, and a good translation.
I play this disk very frequently.
