Too much music, not enough song.......2007-06-25

Hava Nagila was about the only good song on this CD in my opinion. Most of the tracks are music tracks that sound very much like the one before it. I guess that's okay if that is what you were looking for, but I was hoping for more songs with words. I played it once and tossed it in a storage box (my garage sale box).

Israeli Folk dances and songs .......2005-11-12

Great music!.......2005-04-08

My mom played this for me a few years ago, and I listened to it a lot until I lost the disc. Finally I found it again, heh heh. Anyway, I really love this CD. The songs are all really pretty, and it all sounds really natural. I mean, they don't have weird synthesized stuff or anything, haha. It almost reminds me of the first pioneers in Israel. ^^ Buy this CD! I heart it.

A Beautiful Chanson.......2007-04-15

This collection of Yiddish songs sung by Chava Alberstein is one of the finest in the Yiddish catalogue. Her richness and clarity will touch everyone, even those not familiar with Mama Loshen or those with a poor memory (even my mother with dementia lit up when she heard the singing!).

As others have commented it would have been nice to have translations or transliterations to sing along. Nonetheless, you will not be disappointed.

A GREAT complement to this CD is one from Theodore Bikel (Treasury of Yiddish Folk and Theatre Songs; Remastered on Rhino RHM 27827). Although originally recorded in the 1950s and 1960s, this remastered CD contains many of the selections of Alberstein as well as translations and transliterations. Their respective interpretation (and accompanyment) creates an incredible concert and joy to the ears! Purchase Both! and you won't be disappointed.

unmatched emotional power.......2004-10-29

chava albersteins shines in this remarkanle collection.this recording proves you don't have to understand the language to be moved by the delivery of the text.chava gets subtle yet powerful feeeling in every song.the voice is caressing,exhilirating,heavenly and earthbound all at once.a must have for any lover of world music or female vocalists in general.

Songs of Laughter, Life, Love And A Voice Like Honey-Superb!.......2003-10-23

Chava Alberstein has a voice like honey, with an underlying smokiness that brings both traditional Yiddish songs and modern poems, newly set to music, to life. And the music on this spectacular CD will enrich your life, whether you understand Yiddish or have never heard it spoken before. The music is universal and the expression that Alberstein gives to the songs, old and new, will bridge the gap between the Yiddish culture and yours. Alberstein's voice is huge, and her tender and compassionate interpretations give added depth to the music.

The traditional "Oifen Pri'pe'tchik" is one of my favorites. My Nana used to sing it to me when I was a very little girl. Other old folk songs include: "A Keshenever" (The Song Of Kishinev), and "Oifn Veg Sh'tait a Boim," (On The Road There Is A Tree), is rousing klezmer sound at its best. "Tsigainer" (The Gypsy And His Fiddle) features wonderful gypsy violin music. And "Dona, Dona" is a lyrical folk song made popular by Joan Baez back in the 1960s. Modern interpretations include: "Avremi Marvikher," (Avremi the Con Man), by Mordechi Gebirtig, which was written before WWII, and is reminiscent of the pre-war cabaret sound. "Friling," (Spring) is a beautifully poignant song written by Shimke Katzerginsky in the Vilna Ghetto in 1943. "Unter Dy'ne Vy'se Shetern," (Under the White Stars), a prayer-lyric, was written by Israeli-Yiddish poet Abraham Sutsever, the bard of the Vilna Ghetto. And the stirring partisan song "Zog Nit Kein'mol" is an extraordinary addition to this compilation.

This is one of Ms. Alberstein's best CDs and one of my favorites. Sometimes the music will make you want to dance. Sometimes you will just want to listen. I promise you will always be moved by this very special sound.

Beautiful.......2003-03-21

This is a beautiful album which I gave as a gift to my father; he loves it and plays it over and over again. For elderly Yiddish speakers, it can be a really moving experience; but even for those who are not so old (or do not speak the language) it is a powerful album of great beauty.

A Good Introduction to Unfamiliar Music.......2003-03-18

Chava Alberstein has a lovely, smoky voice. The songs on this cd are played and performed very well. Alberstein first became famous as a folk singer in the 1960s. She was born in Poland and immigrated to Israel as a young girl, so her folk and the folk music familiar to Americans is not exactly the same. The songs on this cd are traditional Yiddish songs from Central Europe - there is not a hint of Middle Eastern music. Strangely enough, the songs really sound like Berlin cabaret songs from the 1920s. I say strangely, because obviously the lyrics are far removed from that world. Many of the songs make reference to the Holocaust, though if you can't understand either Yiddish or German this will not be obvious.
I wish the lyrics had been included in the packaging - I can see why international labels selling world music don't bother including lyrics written in, say, Wolof or Swahili, but Yiddish is close enough to German to be understandable to a greater percentage of listeners. An explanation of each song's meaning is provided, however.
The songs come from a selection of her Israeli albums. The sound quality is acceptable, but some of the songs do sound a bit old.

nice.......2007-05-30

She has a very beautiful voice the songs are just not strong enough. I found 3 songs that I find myself listening to over and over. She dose have a great voice but the songs just don't show that off.

Mediterranean Music.......2006-11-03

An exquisite collection of songs from the countries surrounding the Mediterranean, the White Sea, in original languauges. S Yanatou has an angelic voice. Strongly recommended.

Comment on "Gemçis Güzel Günerli" and more.......2005-05-01

First off, this is the best Savina Yannatou CD I've heard to date -- her voice is in terrific form here. (Though you'll get to hear a lot more of the band on her latest release, Sumiglia.)

Second, track 11 ("Gemçis Güzel Günerli") *is* a Turkish song, written by an Aremenian citizen of Turkey, Hrant Kenkulian, or "Udi Hrant," as he's often known -- this is mentioned in the liner notes to Mediterranea. ("Udi" is an honorific prefix meaning that he was a master player of the ud, a Middle Eastern lute.) If you're interested in exploring his music further, there are several recordings of his work (voice, ud, and violin) on the Traditional Crossroads label. (Type "Udi Hrant" into the search engine on this site and you'll find the CDs very easily.)

Turkey was -- and still is -- an ethnically mixed country, which is a legacy of the Ottoman Empire. There were Armenian Turkish composers and musicians at the courts of the Ottoman sultans, and there were those who also excelled at light classical and popular song. Hrant Kenkulian was a master of classical and popular music -- if you explore further, you'll find out that he's one of many 20th-century Armenians who were involved in the development of Turkish music.

Yannatou is an inheritor of Turkish tradition, too. Modern Greece was occupied by the Ottomans for many centuries, and there is a very strong Turkish tinge to much of the Greek music she performs. (And vice versa, as she performs Pontic Greek music from the Black Sea coast of Turkey; also songs from Smyrna -- now called Izmir -- on Turkey's western coast.)

What I love most about her work is her peerless way with all of the songs she chooses. Many people have tried to come up with pan-Mediterranean discs, but Yannatou is one of a handful of people who has succeeded at it.

Gecmis Guzel Gunleri is actually Armenian.......2004-09-22

My professional background is in ethnomusicology. I am not Greek, Turkish or Armenia so I have no axe to grind. One reviewer below, apparently of Turkish background, seems to take offense that Gecmis Guzel Gunleri is not listed as "Turkish Traditional." there is a simple reason for that, it isn't orignially a Turkish song. It is a well known Armenian song, with the same melody for hundred of years. Indeed this rendition is in Turkish, but to call it "Turkish traditional" would be innacurate.

Inded it belongs to, adn illustrates, a whole body of non Turkish music from Turkey which actually speaks to the ethnic cleansing that occured the in the 1900-1920's period.

Few people in today's Turkey, which has been purged of knowledge of the roots of its own tradional music, are aware of the multiethnic roots of its music. It was for years criminal to even suggest that many songs were orignially Greek, Kurdish or Armenian.

So I am glad that my Turkish friend likes the Armenian ballad Gecmis Guzel Gunleri ("The Beautiful Past Days") and am only sorry that he never heard the original recordings by an long dead artist now know in Turkey as Udi Hrant, but whose non stage name was Udi Hrant Kenkulian. His family was murdered in the Turkish Genocide against the Armenians, which makes his song more ever poignant - as the title suggests..

The Meditarranean Soul Captured in One CD!.......2002-04-02

Savina Yannatou has an indescribable soprano voice which captures the sounds and emotions of the Meditarranean people whether Italian, Greek, French (Corsica), Hebrew or Turkish (I may have missed a country or two present on the CD). The wedding song from the Greek island of Kalymnos and the Turkish "aman" song are my favorites. All the songs are so beautifully sung, it is hard to say that one is better than another ... I have heard these two songs before and am familiar with how they should sound: her singing is traditonal with a tenderness and sincerity that is a uniquely her own. Savina's voice is ethereal and "other worldly" - totally living up to her name, after a saint from the Meditarranean, Italy, I think.

I first heard Savina Yannatou on Mondo Greece and knew I must have one of her CDs. I discovered this one and was compelled to buy it. It is filled with the music of Primavera de Salonika, playing kanun, santouri, lyra, and other authentic intstruments that complement Savina's voice. Her voice is beyond description ... totally captivating, exceptional, without comparison. Listen and be amazed - then buy the CD!!! Erika Borsos (erikab93)

Fantastic singers and songs in versions that exist only here.......2003-03-27

The cheap case with no information on the singers does no justice to a CD that has rare, excellent versions of some well known songs, plus other songs I never heard before (and I thought I knew them all!). I am really pleased I bought this CD, and, at this price, you should buy it too!

...you could do worse..........2000-08-04

Biggest disappointment relates to Yerushalayim shel Zahav (Jerusalem of Gold). Since the names of the artists are not included, one cannot know until actually listening (and after purchase) that this beautiful song is NOT performed by the original artist (Shuli Natan, I believe). The song is still beautiful, but its just not the same when performed by a guy (leading to some buyer's remorse). What your left with is a collection of old Israeli songs. Now, if this is what your looking for, you could do alot worse for [the asking price].

A Gem Of A CD - Magnificent Music!!.......2003-06-15

Judy Frankel's CD, "Sephardic Songs Of Love And Hope," is a magnificent collection of beautifully arranged music and song. She was taught most of these songs in the Oral Tradition by Sephardic Jews who now reside in the U.S. One of the reviewers compares Ms. Frankel's voice to Joan Baez, and I agree, to some extent. However I think Judy's voice is stronger with much more depth. She sings from the heart and has the ability to deeply move her listeners.

Some of my favorites cuts are: "Alta, Alta Va La Luna," ("High, High Goes The Moon"), a song from Rhodes - Ms. Frankel is accompanied by drums and the music has a definite Greek flavor; the beautiful and melancholy Israeli love song, "Puncha La Rosa;" a Turkish party song, "La Vida Por El Raki," (I'd Give My Life For Raki); the exquisite Spanish hymn "Bendigamos;" and the poignant "O Mis Hermanos," ("O My Brothers"), a memorial to those lost in the holocaust.

I highly recommend this CD to anyone who enjoys authentic folk music. You certainly do not have to be Jewish to enjoy this to the max!

Lovely Voice and Music.......2002-02-13

Judy Frankel's voice reminds me of J. Baez, fluid yet strong
reaching the high notes easily. Her songs are mesmerizing, the
sound transcends any language barrier. Timeless is one word
I would use to describe her music, as I would have enjoyed
this cd as easily decades ago as I do now.

Beautiful music.......2000-03-11

This music is very beautiful, and I highly recommend it

Separdic Songs of Love & Hope.......2000-01-22

Beautyful adaptation of ancient songs, sang by many generations of Spanish Jews. Moving expression of love for jewish heritage, romance and aspirations. 'O Mis Ermanos' stands out with its sad beauty, mourning the holocaust of the Sephardic Jews of Greece during WWII. Great singing and playing of acustic guitar.
