5.0 out of 5 stars The unique voice of Natania Davrath, March 22, 2001

This review is from: Sings Russian Yiddish & Israeli Folk Songs (Audio CD)

These two albums (released here together) were responsible for my choosing the career of singer of Russian and Yiddish folk songs. Davrath's voice is other-worldly, combining the best of classical training with the purity and simplicity of folk song. When I was only 18, I began reading the transliterated lyrics on the back of the LP and singing along, and (lo and behold), an hitherto unknown voice came out of me, inspired by her angelic tone. Thank you, Natania! (L. Lippitz, vocalist with Maxwell Street Klezmer Band)

5.0 out of 5 stars what a beautiful and sweet voice, January 24, 2002

This review is from: Sings Russian Yiddish & Israeli Folk Songs (Audio CD)

2 beautiful CDs. The Russian songs are very nice and some of them are familiar. The Israeli songs are old style songs from the 50th. The Yiddish songs are just beautiful.
She had a very sweet voice. We can only be sorry that she died at
the age of 57 in 1987...

5.0 out of 5 stars A heavenly voice, January 25, 2004

This review is from: Sings Russian Yiddish & Israeli Folk Songs (Audio CD)

Davrath's Russian folk song album found its way into my collection some 25 years ago or more, and her amazingly beautiful voice captivated me and directed me toward a singing career the moment needle touched vinyl. The unique thing about Davrath is that, unlike many other classically-trained singers, her voice comes across as simple, honest and unnuanced when she is delivering folk music. She is the best of both worlds: tremendous vocal finesse coupled with fresh, unpretentious delivery. This is still #1 in my collection of both Russian and Yiddish folk songs.
