The Real Little Classical Fake Book Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)You have all heard the expression "read the fine print". This whole book is fine print.If your visual acuity is not comparable to that of our feathered friends or rated at 20/10 or better you will need two assistants.One to hold the magnifying glass and another to hold the tightly bound book open. It would be fine for regular reading but NOT sheet music!!! I would have gladly paid the extra bucks to have the material printed in a reasonably sized format such as 8 x ll with a spiral binding.

The Absolutely Complete Klezmer Songbook (Transcontinental Music Folios) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)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!
