Cantors, Klezmorim & Crooners 1905-1953: Classic Yiddish 78s From the Mayrent Collection (2009)

"Gleaned from the nearly 9,000 Yiddish 78s in the collection of Sherry Mayrent, this historic anthology gives the listener a sweeping soundscape of the music made by and for the Yiddish speaking community from the late 19th century to the 1950s. Cantorials, klezmer dance tunes, Yiddish vaudeville skits, and Yiddish theater songs abound in this anthology of 73 tracks 46 of them never before reissued a milestone in the examination of the Yiddish cultural renaissance at the height of its powers. With notes by Sherry Mayrent and Henry Sapoznik and digital remastering by Grammy winning producer Christopher King, the 76 page illustrated booklet was designed by award winning designer Susan Archie."
