He has a Cd called "Hatikvah' that has Israeli songs  well as others like 
Exodus, Hava Nagila, Tzena Tzena, Sunrise Sunset, Jerusalem of Gold, etc. 
that is the only one I can think of.

<<Also:  Do you carry--or, in any case, can you recommend--any 
pamphlets/booklets/books of classic songs of early Israel (or pre-Israel 
Palestine), music not necessary?>>
 
I have a Cd called "Nights in Canaan:Early Songs of the Land of Israel 
(1881-1946) with detailed booklet on the influences on Israeli music. Also, 
contains "history" of each song. Booklet is 27 pages.   Released through Bar 
Ilan University.
