5 out of 5 stars Now I get it!!!.......2002-12-18

I have never really enjoyed listening to "Jewish" music until this recording! What a fun romp through the holidays, simply the best sounding and most playable music I've heard in years. These people can really play, and the lyrics are easy and memorable. But it is the catchy tunes I find myself humming, and my kids always want to hear Sing Shalom, all the year through! I highly recommend this CD, especially for interfaith or sorta-faith families. Makes us want more from the Allards!

Product Description

This extraordinary collection of songs for the High Holidays is packed with emotional and uplifting melodies that elevate the soul and the spirit. Designed as a soundtrack for the High Holiday season, INSCRIBED takes the listener on a spiritual journey through the themes of the holiday. Capturing the emotional highs and introspective lows Craig states, “beginning with the meditative Psalm 28 recited a month before Rosh Hashanah up through the havdalah ceremony at the close of Yom Kippur, it is my desire to expose the community to new and exciting melodies that respect the tradition and move the worshipper.”

5 out of 5 stars A Very Moving CD.......2006-09-18

I love this CD! I've been listening to it to get my spirit ready for the high holy days and even shared the music with my cantor who wants to incorporate some of the melodies into our services. My favorites are V'Al Kulam and La Yehudim.

5 out of 5 stars Inspiring.......2006-06-08

Craig's voice is so perfect on the tracks here. My personal favorite is V'Al Kulam, although Im Ain Ani Li certainly gets points for originality. Really uplifting songs and gorgeous melodies from start to finish. The back-up instrumentals ae uniformly strong. Altogether, a deeply powerful and moving album.

5 out of 5 stars A magnificent liturgical concert, Reform style.......2001-09-21

This excellent CD of High Holy Days liturgical music is, according to its own liner notes, "somewhat concertized," the goal being to "reflect the profound spiritual journey that takes place in the life of Jews throughout the world during this holy period, and to open this experience, at least on an artistic level, to lovers of music, beauty, and holiness." It should therefore be listened to as if it were a classical concert, rather than actual worship. (This is not a new idea among Jews; in the days before "equal opportunity employment," when Jews were barred from European opera companies, it was not unusual for a gifted cantor to go on tour in the Jewish world, giving concerts of original liturgical music, performed on "secular" days. Such concerts, in turn, gave birth to music which eventually found its way into the regular synagogue services -- as did much of this music.)


The pieces included here come mostly from the Western European (Ashkenazic) tradition, and will be familiar to most Ashkenazic Jews. Much of this music originated in the German Reform movement of the 19th century which, in turn, was strongly influenced by the classical composers. The prominent use of a pipe organ in this concert places it squarely in the "classical Reform" category, i.e., the most "churchlike" of Jewish liturgies. However, I have heard the same tunes sung in synagogues of other denominations, too -- including Orthodox groups that would be absolutely mortified to discover that their "traditional" music is originally Reform! Consider the oh-so-traditional "Kol Nidre" by Louis Lewandowski (included on this CD), who was a Reform composer. It is indeed a tribute to the beauty of this music that it speaks to all kinds of Jews.


The concert itself is beautifully performed, with Stacy Lowe as soprano, Russell Ashley as baritone, Mary Jane Newman as organist and choral director, and Lisa Rautenberg on violin. The CD comes with liner notes by Mary Jane Newman, giving a brief history of Jewish music and some background on the the various composers.
