I've been listening to a wonderful compilation of Yiddish art songs that were
recorded ca. 1976 and 1978 by the operatic bass Leon Lishner and
pianist/composer Lazar Weiner. The CD was reissued by Omega in 1992. It strikes
me as an excellent overview of the Yiddish art song performed by trained
musicians with a deep understanding of the style and language.
Here's the bib record with contents:
