Very first klezmer recordings

[borzykowski <borzykowski...>]

Hi all!

At a lecture on klezmer history I gave recently at a Talmud Tora in Geneva,
a boy asked me about the very first klezmer tunes ever recorded.

I wasn't able to answer precisely. Was it Mihal Viteazul' Doina & Sirba
(1905)? H.Steiner's Potpourri of Jewish Melodies (1908)? some Belf's (ca
1912)?

I should re-read my bed-side books :-) but easier and quicker to
answer the list!

Thanks for helping.

Michal
