Greek Jewish recordings, 1912-1990s

[Joel Bresler <joel.br...>]

Dear friends:

A correspondent inquires whether any

I replied:

I can't speak to all Jewish music in Greece, just those recordings with 
Sephardic content. Not much, to be sure, and what there was was mostly 
documentary.

Melikis, Giorgis, ed., C. Bakalakos and T. Bakogeorgos
Folk Musicians and Singers Sing of Thessaloniki, 1668-1917
1985    Salonica, Greece has three Judeo-Spanish cuts.

A Unesco recording dating from 1951 has some Judeo-Spanish cuts.

Amnon Shiloah and Edith Gerson-Kiwi both did recordings with significant 
Greek Jewish content.

Except for the above, I actually have no record of post-1912 Sephardic 
recordings in Salonica.

Can anyone else add to the discussion?

Thanks,

Joel
