The Big Klezmer Fake Book Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First, it's a great collection. My only quibble is with the editing, specifically for page turns. As a clarinetist and pianist, I have to stop and turn pages during at least a third of the tunes. I'd really like to save a trip to the copy shop. Also, Freylach no. 15 disappears at the bottom of page 24 and resurfaces at the top of page 38. What's with that? It's good to have all these tunes together, though. Well worth getting, but you may need to make a run to Kinko's.

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!
