Ironically, they have named this series "American Classics." Very
disappointing. We will only carry the Yiddish CD, "Abraham Ellstein: Great
Songs of the
Yiddish Stage," which only includes 9 Ellstein tunes (out of 16 tracks) the
others are by different composers...very misleading title.
I also think the art work is very poor and not very "Jewish"
