405.0. "Klezmer on CD" by IAGO::SCHOELLER (Dick (Gavriel ben Avraham) Schoeller) Fri Dec 11 1987 09:13

FWIW

For those of you are into Klezmer but are sick of the sound of gem
stones scraping on vinyl, I came across The Klezmer Conservatory's
"Oy Chanuaka" on CD yesterday at Barnes and Noble on Washington St.
in Boston.

Does anybody know if other Klezmer or Israeli music is available on
CD or will become so shortly?  If so, where in the Boston area?

I hope the trend continues!!!

405.1I'm interested too.CURIE::GOLDJack E. Gold, MRO3Tue Dec 15 1987 16:1111
    I think Israel Book Store has a small selection of CDs.  I do not
    know the titiles, since the last time I was in there, I was not
    yet a CD player owner.  Things have changed, and I would be interested
    in hearing about any CDs.

    P.S.  Many CDs are really only remakes of existing recordings and
    as such, do not sound much better.  You have to look for ones that
    were digitally recorded originally. This leaves out all recordings
    more than about 3-5 years old.
405.2CDs are in at the Israel Book StoreCADSYS::RICHARDSONWed Dec 16 1987 12:4011
    I was in the Israel Book Store on Sunday -- they have a bunch of
    CDs, mostly the same stuff they already had on cassette tapes (such
    as great hazzans singing music appropriate to various holidays,
    kids Chanukah songs, etc.)  One thing that interested me, since
    I like that sort of stuff anyhow, is that Titanic Records now makes
    CDs, as promised, which means that the Voice of the Turtle music
    is coming out on CD.  In fact, I saw a couple of disks there of
    it.  They play Sephardic music, very interesting stuff, and something
    most of us don't know too much about.  Oh, another disk I noticed
    was that great record of Yitzhak Perlman singing Yiddish songs,
    now out on CD (ever go see him in person - he's great!).
