'The Rough Guide to Klezmer Music'

Various Artists

(RGNET1047)

Label - Rough Guide, World Music Network
Released 2005

Klezmer, the exuberant Jewish music traditionally played at weddings and other celebrations, is charted on this Rough Guide from its eastern European roots to its North American resurgence. At times soulful, at times frenetic, this selection conveys the dignity and beauty of klezmer music, and combines for the first time archival tracks alongside contemporary versions of the same tunes.

'the album...combines for the first time archival tracks alongside contemporary versions of the same tunes...the perfect place for anyone wanting an introduction to the genre'
Jewish Telegraph

Artists include: The Klezmatics, Klez Conservatory Band, Naftule Brandwein, Budowitz, Kroke, Brave Old World, Harry Kandel's Orchestra and Alicia Svigals.
