Youth

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Jewish and Yiddish Music

this album sucks. i can't even listen to it all the way through. he really has potential but blows it with way too poppy chorus bull.

also, the seller said it was in very good condition yet the disc and case were scratched to hell.

DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!

I think somehow the listeners missed the point. It is a parody! Just relax and take it as it is: good parody, sucky music.

Songs of Russia Old & New/Songs of a Russian Gypsy

I grew up with these albums in vinyl. It was wonderful to re-discover them again in CD format, and be able to add them to my collection as an adult. Theodore Bikel is a wonderful curator and transmitter of these lively folk songs.

I enjoy this album totally. It brings feelings of country fiddlers as well as classical violin music to me.

In the Fiddler's House

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Jewish and Yiddish Music
by: Itzhak Perlman

November 21, 1995
I have started a collection of Klezmer music and I have never been disappointed by what I have found here on Amazon. The music is such an intricate part of the Jewish culture and this particular CD will alternately squeeze your heart and make your clap your hands...awesome!

The Jewish Songbook: The Heart & Humor of a People

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Jewish and Yiddish Music
by: Various Artists

The concept of this CD, produced by Brooks Arthur is a commendable one. He knows lots of folks in show business who are Jewish and decided that newly recorded versions of "Jewish" songs would be great. All but one of the 13 tracks on this (somewhat short at 44-minute length) were recorded in 2006 and 2007 by the artists. The lone "oldie" is "Avinu Malkeinu" by Barbra Streisand, which comes from her 1997 "Higher Ground" album.

The CD starts off great with The Manhattan Transfer performing a great swing version of "Utt Da Say" about a tailor making a dress. It had me tapping my feet immediately. Then Neil Sedaka (who recorded a whole CD of Yiddish songs a few years back) slows it down with "My Yiddishe Momme". Smooth jazz meet traditional Yiddish Klezmer ... Read More:

You Don't Have to Be Jewish/When You're in Love the Whole World Is Jewish

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Jewish and Yiddish Music

You certainly do NOT have to be Jewish to enjoy this CD....Very funny, heartwarming and nostalgic....I remembered some skits from the 60's and 70's. At times we play it in the car and make our trip seem fast as we LAUGH away....

Jewish Cello Masterpieces

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Jewish and Yiddish Music
from: Leggiero Records

September 20, 2002
Anyone familiar with the torturous history of Jews struggling in a Gentile world will find many of the slow and sad notes reminescent of their tearful plight. These composers are all top notch and the music is wonderful to have playing lightly in the house as you go about your business. I really enjoy this purchase.

Interesting blend of Klezmer and a country approach.
