Album Review
True to their name, the Klezmer Conservatory Band are preservationists rather than innovators in this concert recording of klezmer classics from the 1920s through the '50s. For Live!: The Thirteenth Anniversary Album arrangements are updated for modern tastes while remaining true to the heyday of the Yiddish big bands — meaning that the anachronisms don't really become intrusive until the group has established an affable enough presence that almost any cornball transgressions can be forgiven. The well-paced, revue-style show, intentionally or not, highlights the contributions of klezmer to mainstream American music. The obvious example, Ziggy Elman's "And the Angels Sing," fits effortlessly between a cut from a 1926 Yiddish operetta and the traditional "Russian Sher."
Customer Reviews
OY! BRAVISSIMO!
Easily the best of the KCB's albums, with a little of something for everyone. You want a wild sher for celebrations? It's here. Plaintive klezmer waltz more your cup of tea? You got it. Classic Yiddish schmaltz like "Mayn Shtetele Belz"? Pull up a chair. My personal favorite? "Abi Gezunt" -- a rollicking, Jewish Big Band ode to life and love and appreciating it all. Even the heartbreaking ballad about the Warsaw Ghetto is a gem, albeit a tragic one. Great holiday, special event and family melodies are here as well, including "Tum Balalyke" (feel free to sing along!) and "Rumenye, Rumenye." (Eartha Kitt's goyische version doesn't even hold a candle.) A must-buy for any true klezmer fan.
