Podcast Description
Leonard Nimoy hosts a 13-part series that celebrates the American Jewish tradition by exploring the extraordinary range of its music. Each program illuminates a major theme reflected in American Jewish music: biblical epics set to music by Kurt Weill and other 20th century masters; Jewish legends in tone poems, film scores and operas; sacred masterpieces and the great cantorial tradition; the joy of klezmer; symphonies and concertos based on Jewish themes; the mysteries of Sephardic music; Holocaust reflections; songs from the Golden Age of Yiddish Theater; and world premieres of recently discovered Jewish compositions by Leonard Bernstein.

Customer Reviews
Great series
It is a fine expose of Jewish contributions to the culture in America and extremely well done by Gerard Schwartz and Neil Levin. Leonard Nimoy's narration throughout the brief list here is exceptional . It is a shame that the entire 13 part series is not available, but the sample here is well worth the listen.
