Summary: A wonderful album.
Comment: A wonderful album. The songs speaks - softly- to your mind and soul whoever you are.. Even if you don't understand the words , some mystical feeling evokes deep , undescriptable memories , dreams and a sweet sadness. The more you listen to the songs, more you love them. Thanks for this great work to Chava Alberstein and The Klezmatics.

Summary: Who cares if you don't speak Yiddish
Comment: I bought this album completly at random about 5 years ago. It got drink spilled over it, stood on etc. I got hold of it again, and I remember why it was exposed it so much abuse: it was constantly on the player or on the coffee table, waiting to go on: it is a magical record. I don't know what the heck any of the songs are about, but it sounds great. Listwn to this record.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Moves your feet and your heart
Comment: This is probably my favorite record ever. Some tunes make you want to dance, some make you want to cry, and a lot of them make you want to learn Yiddish.

Editorial Reviews:

Loneliness, loss, displacement, and death loom large among the topics covered in the 15 Yiddish poems set to melodies by popular Israeli folksinger Chava Alberstein, and arranged by New York's exploratory Klezmatics, on this deeply sad and beautiful album. Anyone familiar with the Klezmatics' more rambunctious side will be impressed by the inventive delicacy and subtlety they bring to these elegant vestiges of fading Yiddish culture, virtually reanimating it with tangos, Hasidic melodies, polkas, and festive freylekhs that recall its vibrant past. Alberstein's low voice meshes beautifully with Lorin Sklamberg's high tenor, adding extra emotional resonance to a series of poems in the middle of the album that evoke the genocide twilight that enveloped the writers' world half a century ago. Their tragedy is redeemed in The Well. --Richard Gehr
