Re: Yiddish Songs: Favorite Versions

[elkahn <elkahn...>]

Bob:

Try Louis Danto's version of LOMIR ZICH IBERBETEN on his MASTERS OF THE
JEWISH ART SONG: THE ST. PETERSBURG SCHOOL, Ontario: Cadenza Records,
1989. It's available in cassette and CD. We have it here.

N.B.: I hear Danto sing this song last winter at a concert the library had
here; it was truly wonderful: the real thing.
