5.0 out of 5 stars Must own!, November 30, 2000
By A Customer
This is a fantastic "holiday" CD. It is amazing how they blend the two (Klezmer & Nutcracker Ballet) into one. You'll never listen to the Nutcraker Ballet again without thinking about this delightful CD.

5.0 out of 5 stars Klezmer goes classical, March 7, 1999
By A Customer
Great fun for anyone who loves klezmer and isn't turned off by the concept of cross-cultural arrangements of classics. Creatively arranged. Expertly performed. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars SPANNING TWO WORLDS, January 2, 2002
By A Customer
This is one of the best gifts I received this Christmas. My mistake was listening to it for the first time driving down a CA freeway. The differences are so subtle but the effect is amazing. The titles go with the tunes in a special blend of hilarity. If you like either klezmer or the Nutcracker, GO OUT AND GET THIS CD. It's a wonderful introduction to life in two worlds.
