>I would like to use this as an "excuse" for a reminder to the list
>members, actually, for two remainders:
>
>1) The "Italian Jewish Musical Traditions" is part of a series,
>"Musical Traditions in Israel", which includes other amazing titles,
>published by the Jewish Music Research Center at the Hebrew
>University of Jerusalem. The JMRC is -- together with the
>"Fonoteca",
>that is the National Sound Archives of the National and University
>Library in Jerusalem -- an amazing institution, founded in 1964 by
>Israel Adler, and currently directed by Edwin Seroussi. Their work -
>which in the case of the Italian CD happens to be also my own ;-) -
>is priceless.
>Please keep this in mind! Visit the Center if you are in Jerusalem,
>give support from abroad. They need everybody's help, and they
>should
>be known by all of those who are in love with Jewish musical
>traditions.
>Their e-mail is mailto:jmrc (at) cc(dot)huji(dot)ac(dot)il and their web site is
>http://shum.cc.huji.ac.il/~jmrc/jmrc.htm .
>
>
>2) The CD is the result of several years of research. This included
>locating the field recordings in several institutions, going through
>them, sorting out the five or six different catalogues that already
>existed, and realizing that they were often misleading. Moreover, it
>included comparing the wealth of the Italian traditions as they were
>recorded fifty years ago with the current situation which, although
>less rich, still presents many elements of interest. Live
>testimonies
>are essential to this work, which cannot be carried on only in the
>archives.
>
>If any list members are themselves of Italian descent, or know of
>Italian Jews who are still traditional culture bearers anywhere in
>the world, do not esitate in getting in touch with me or passing on
>(on or off list) the contact info to reach them.
>
>Thank you!
