Product Description

In the summer of 1999, the Zamir Chorale of Boston toured Poland and the Czech Republic performing Jewish songs of courage, sorrow and joy not heard in Europe since the original Zamir singers were silenced by the Holocaust 60 years before. Sing with Zamir (Hebrew for "nightingale") as they share beautiful songs, retrace their fascinating 100-year history, and join voices as one in an uplifting musical celebration.

4.0 out of 5 stars A moving, important mini-documentary., August 4, 2008

By	S. I. Greenberg (Plymouth, MN USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Zamir - Jewish Voices Return to Poland [VHS] (VHS Tape)

First, I have been a fan of Zamir for years, and have most of their music on CD, cassette, and iPod. Second, I am extremely impressed that they came up with the idea to visit and perform in Eastern Europe. Third, the film footage is definitely moving and brought me to tears.

My only regrets are that this wonderful concept and event wasn't captured in a longer film that would've included more music and more of their experience, and that the quality of the filming and the film wasn't professional. Nevertheless, I recommend it, especially since the cost was negligible.
