5.0 out of 5 stars
Five stars is not high enough, July 23, 2005
This review is from: Song of the Lodz Ghetto (Audio CD)
Brave Old World has been performing this cycle of music based on songs written by Jews in the Lodz Ghetto during WWII. The rolling cadences of the band's music, and Michael Alpert's amazing voice make this a "must have" recording for anyone interested in wonderful, life-affirming Jewish music. Brave Old World have never sounded better - which given what an amazing band they are, live and in concert, is no small feat. Those interested in music from the Holocaust will also regard this as essential, on part with Adrienne Cooper and Zalmen Mlotek's "Ghetto Tango" released to great acclaim several years ago.

awesome!!! buy this!!!, December 16, 2005
This review is from: Song of the Lodz Ghetto (Audio CD)
This is a great CD by the best Klezmer band in the world!! I have been listening to Alan Bern's music since 1965 through all of its many variations, and with this performance he is clearly at the top of his game. I encourage everyone to buy a CD for themselves and more for their friends and family!!! Clearly a winner!!!

Bravo!! The Song of the Lodz Ghetto, May 25, 2007
This review is from: Song of the Lodz Ghetto (Audio CD)
Having both seen the performance of this material live and listened to this CD, I can say that the CD captures the performance very well. I am so glad that the performance has been preserved and can be disseminated in this way. I recommend the CD most highly as a passionate expression of the years-long ordeal and loss of the Holocaust. Excellent musicianship and dramatic presentation. This reminder of that high crime against humanity speaks with an eloquence beyond words to all who cherish justice and the preciousness of life. Unquestionably five stars.
