Double ditto on the above. Also: there is no "klezmer" on the disc; it's all 
Russian-Yiddish theater music and what instrumental stuff there is, is 
mediated theater arrangements, so even the  title of the anthology is 
misleading. And finally, the notes are barely informative and the portions 
are so small.
