RE: Yiddish Theater

[Reyzl Kalifowicz-Waletzky <reyzl...>]

I am sorry that I can't.  There are so many theater recordings that it is 
difficult to recommend anthologies over recordings of individual artists. 
 I haven't heard all the anthologies and so can't speak about them.  I 
haven't even heard all the Yiddish recordings I myself own.  (I buy loads 
at Jewish thrift shops, Brooklyn Jewish bookstore sales, WC bookstore 
sales,...) The two cassettes I heard in my own collection were ok.  Can't 
recommend them especially.  I would go with individual stars, Aaron 
Lebedeff, Molly Picon, Jennie Grossinger, Peysakhke Burshteyn, ... too many 
to name.  I think Simon would be very helpful in this department.

Reyzl,

Would you recommend any currently available anthology?
