a 36 page booklet on the history of recording khazones, bios,
photos,translations and critiques on the performances.
"On the Air" (Shanachie 67005) by the pioneering Yiddish klezmer group,
Kapelye, celebrates a forgotten moment in Jewish-American history: the rise
of Yiddish-American radio. Mixing new performances rare historic radio
broadcasts and sound effects, "On the Air" provides the listener with a

I recently saw a CD of Yossele ROsenblatt's Shabbos melodies; it's either
a re-release of an old LP or a compilatin of various old stuff.  And if
you're looking for stuff for a must-listen list, I strongly suggest
putting Shlomo Carlebach on it.  There's lots there, both in his songs and
his 'chazzonische' stuff (especially his tape of the nusach for Yamim
Nora'im) that no Jew should miss, least of all a chazan.

Subject: Ladino music - New! 


I've just rec'd the following two CD's and wanted to share them
with you.  Available from Simon at Hatikva.

FORTUNA - CANTIGAS 

Fortuna is a beautiful brazillian woman who has already released
one cd, LA PRIMA VEZ.  This new Cd, like her last, is well worth
the cost.  Her voice is beautiful, controlled, and very easy to 
listen to.  In addition, she has done extensive work to develop
a variety of ladino music, good instrumentation, and some of the
melodies are her own. 
FORTUNA can be contacted directly at:
 Fortuna Producoes Artisticas....tex/fax (011)826-4263
(If she ever tours where I can see a performance, I'll BE THERE!)

ESTHER LAMANDIER - ROMANCES

w/ Chant, harp, organ, epinette & viele
Esther Lamandier is a soprano and specialist in the written
adaptation of medieval repertoire...she performs several 
classic ballads plus la rosa enflorece, yo m'enamori, noches
buenas and more. The CD ends with some unusual chants from 
the orient (not ladino, but I'm not sure what language.)
Recorded by Alienor (Paris). A beautiful, but more operatic voice
than Fortuna.

BOTH CD's have booklets with lyrics in Ladino with translation
into French.

Hope you all enjoy this listening suggestions.  Thank you to all who 
kindly responded to my request.  I am still looking for suggestions, and 
would not mind having a list twice the size of this one.
