Cantors Klezmorim & Crooners 1905-1953: Classic Yiddish 78s From the Mayrent Collection

There has been a revival of interest in the Jewish music now known as Kletzmer, which achieved its height in pre-war Europe. Often brisk, sometimes sad, it has a vitality that instantly communicates to the listener. Few archives are as extensive as the Mayrent collection, and no authority is more expert than annotator Henry Sapoznik. The 67 tracks are accompanied by a 72-page Illustrated booklet, which, we suggest, is alone worth the price of the collection.. An ideal introduction to a unique musical form which contains much to interest the expert and those familiar with the genre.
