4.0 out of 5 stars Energetic and Pure Klezmer, June 14, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Rhythm & Jews (Audio CD)

While not necessarily the Klezmatics best work, this CD is fast, upbeat and thoroughly enjoyable. A DJ could play this CD at a wedding and have the crowd up and dancing the whole time! Most of the tracks are songs directly from the old Klezmer masters with new Klezmatic-style arrangements. Seems like the Klezmatics cover very little new ground, though the old ground is certainly a lot of fun. This CD doesn't take the risks that are characteristic of the Klezmatics other work. If you want classic Klezmer in the modern Klezmatic style, this is the CD for you.

4.0 out of 5 stars One of the highlights of my CD collection, June 15, 1998

Wonderfull CD. I had to get used to it (for I haven't heared Klezmer before), but after a while my family complained whether my CD-Player can't eject the CD so I can hear something different :-)

With such a whimsical title, I wasn't sure what to expect. Novelty act? Not at all! The music proved much more serious than the cover might suggest. It is very traditional, authentic, and satisfying throughout. The Klezmatics have a lot of talent, and a deep love and understanding of this musical tradition. This is an outstanding CD, definitely one of the best klezmer albums I've heard. I'd recommend it to any fan of the genre. This is the real deal. Shalom!
