A treasure
Linguist | Washington, DC USA | 01/14/2009
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Indeed, this album is a treasure and a classic. I grew up with it. My grandmother, born in the "old country", instantly found herself transported back home. My assimilated American parents recognized the warmth and the humor and the beauty in the songs and the immense talent of the singer. And I discovered my roots.



The culture that Theodore Bikel sings of was largely wiped out in the Holocaust. It's important to me that we not let the music perish. Theodore Bikel is a national treasure-- and this album is a gift for generations to come.



Many will know Bikel from his classic performance in "The Sound of Music". Now in his mid-80s, he is still performing on stage. And it is still a joy to hear him."
