If you are looking for a great collection of klezmer music, this has got to be the one. Extremely comprehensive, extremely legible, and some really superb tunes. A big and hearty thanks to the author who traveled Europe collecting these tunes, now written down here for posterity. The biggest bonus here is the CD, which has beautifully rendered performances of 36 of the 313(!) pieces, and really fantastic sound. In fact, the package is worth it for the CD alone.Don't let the price scare you away, this is a vast collection that is more than worth the price. If you can afford only one klezmer book, this is it!
Very nice collection by Mr. Strom. Great historical background, organized and in fact complete! Great variety of pieces/styles to choose from. A must have for the amateur and the researcher.
Nothing but fun. Could not ask for more. It's plenty of bang forL a t-h-i-c-k collection of most known tunes and a CD performance on top of that.
These songs are FUN to play! I've had my nose in it all day, it's an addicting genre and this book will get you going.
COMPLEAT KLEZMER BOOK CD is recommended for the first choice. For further exploration, this one is ABSOLUTELY deep!
