Various Artists - Cantors, Klezmorim and Crooners 1905-1953 - World / Reggae - CD

Jewish or not, those who hear Klezmer are almost always drawn to it-it's wistfulness and humanity speak to all but the most hardened souls. Klezmer entered our musical bloodstream through composers like Berlin, Kern and the Gershwin's; here are Lenine and Trotsky Morris Goldstein; My Yiddishe Momme Sophie Tucker; Selection of Hebrew Dances Ambrose & His Orchestra; If I Were Rothschild Sholem Aleichem; Operatic Rag Joseph Moskowitz, and more classic Yiddish 78s. Includes 67 tracks (42 never reissued) and a 72-page illustrated booklet!
