It seems like there are not so many enthusiasts about Russian Old Homeland at
the list.
Dear Vlad, you try to search in a wrong place. Do you think real klezmorim
could have had that established promotion as I. Kobzon does? There are
klezmorim here, very few,. but yet they exist. Igor Semenduev from N. Novgorod,
several young people in Moscow, "Aliya" in Samara. If you are interested, write
directly to P. Achkinazi: paulina_achkinazi (at) yahoo(dot)com

OK, folks, here is the story,
I was buying a russian book for my grandmother from this web site
kniga.com, when I got a promotional e-mail that, as their customer, I was also
eligible for free mp3 downloads from an associated russian music web site
--www.rbcmp3.com.
Half the web site is in Russian (which I can read) and apparently contains
some gems of Jewish music, available only behind the former Iron curtain --(try
doing a search on "evreyskaya musica" -- in cyrillic, of course)
I thought that I was finding some good cantorial selections, until I ran
into THIS ALBUM:

In case the link does not connect for you, it leads to a cover of a
Russian CD, titled "our spiritual heritage/synagogue music" The cover of this
CD, however, is a close up baroque-style painting of Jesus with a crown of
thorns?? Apparently, for these Russian publishers all spiritual stuff is the
same... The music on the album sounds quite churchy, but it is clearly of
jewish origin..
Another good one is by a famous old-style soviet-era pop-star, Yosif
Kobzon, containing some Jewish favorites, sung to an awful 70s pop backup..
Notice that titles of several songs are not spelled correctly.

So much for trying to find authentic Klez back in the old homeland...
Oh well, I guess I will just stick to my own fiddle playing and learn from
you all, the "foreigners" (hah-hah, just kidding..)
