A few reviews and comments:
"The Klezical Tradition's music for our concert series was by far - and
continues to be every year - the best entertainment for our audiences. We
must provide concerts that reach a wide range of ages and cultures and,
evidenced by the largest crowd we’ve ever had (over two thousand!), you are
providing just that." Levitt Pavilion series.
"How energetic and raw spirited you all are, yet so musically polished! Your
concert was fabulous and we hope you’ll be part of our series again next
year. The audience response demands it!”

"An unalloyed delight, from the old family photos in the booklet to the
lively interpretations of old chestnuts like "Russian Sher" and "Die Goldene
Khasene." Difficult to single out any one contribution on a record as good as
this, but Adrianne Greenbaum's rollicking piccolo is a pungent and unexpected
reminder of how many of the old klezmorim learned their trade in East
European military bands. A set that managed to be traditional and fresh at
the same time." Rating:5 stars George Robinson, NY Jewish Week
"An effortless authenticity pervades the debut recording of this New England
based acoustic quartet, which takes listeners on a spirited, witty journey
through New World Yiddishkeit, including early 20th century instrumental
music and Yiddish theater songs. Vocalist Fraidy Katz sounds like she just
walked off a Second Avenue stage." Seth Rogovoy
"Presenting klezmer music in its rich, traditional old-world style is The
Klezical Tradition's "Family Portrait," a disc packed with dance tunes and
poignant Yiddish songs and reminiscences that recreate Jewish life in the
shtetls and cities of Europe." Gideon Aranoff, Forward
"A fresh and innovative approach to our eastern European musical heritage -
and a family connection that adds just the right touch of heymishkeit!"
